I would say get another 5870. Yeah 6950cf would out perform 5870cf, but not by much. If you want the little extra performance go for the 6950's. If you want to save yourself £200 yet still have very impressive performance, go for another 5870.

Do these come with the 6 pin power adapters?
I ask because I've lost one of my cables for the corsair -.-

At this price point doesn't it pretty much make the 6870 cards obsolete, is there any reason to buy a 6870 at £185 when £15 more gets you the 6950?
As I've already posted, this 6950 is a great deal. But although I'd like to buy from OCUK the 6970 is cheaper for me at 2 other stores (with good reputations).Hi there
I think its fair to say OcUK is leading from the front at the moment with new cards and the cracking deals on ATI cards.

6970 for less than £200?!
I was always planning on getting one of these and at this price (i always limit myself to £200 for GPUs) its a steal, once i get it under water im going to clock it like a bugger...whether it will match a 570 under air is something im hoping to find out, if it almost matches a 480 i will be happy considering the price they were at launch :0
Lol, I wish. No, Gibbo said

and I wanted to buy a 6970, but the 6970 was cheaper elsewhere (I paid £276 for a Saphire delivered, whereas the HIS is £290 here if you don't qualify for free shipping). I don't expect OCUK to be the cheapest on everything, it's great they had the 6950 deal, but since Gibbo was saying they were leading from the front I thought it right that I add more info for balance.
