I'm quite tempted by these. I really like the look of them and from what I understand the Twin Frozr II was very good, so I'd expect these to be better (well, it's a higher number so it has to be right?)

Only thing is, 6950 CF would be a downgrade from GTX 570 GTX, wouldn't it?

Radeon 6950 CF are almost as good as GTX 580s SLI and are almost twice as cheap.

The GTX 570 SLI graphs don't work but you can expect them to favour 6950s CF in that comparison.

Going from GTX 570s SLI to R6950s CF would be a sidestep, though.

I think the MSi just edges it on the Sapphire with slightly higher core clock and memory clock speeds. The main performance feature of it though in comparison to the Sapphire is its cooling system. Supposed to be the coolest 2GB 6950 on the market.

EDIT:

And they were retailing around £225 about a month or so back.

Thanks for those. I'd found plenty of reviews of that model including many of those. I haven't found any reviews of the sapphire one though - which from its screenshot seems to be a different model to their earlier one, though has the same product code.
