Using price as a metric, my guess would be GTX 580.

And I can see a list here as well, that you can look at.
Note that synthetic benchamrks are not to be trusted, as they may not
give a true impression of how a card really works.

Here, a GTX 580 goes head to head with ATI HD 5970. Testing with
specific games (like *your* favorite game), helps make it easier
to decide which card is best.

The HD 5970 is a dual GPU card, for comparison.

The HD 6970 is a single GPU card.

The GTX 580 is a single GPU card, with vapor chamber cooling.

You'll need a good power supply.

Best for what budget, to go in what spec of machine and to play what games?
