6950 for a 650 Ti Boost?

[jakari]

Have been looking at the 650Ti Boost cards and thinking about getting one then maybe another in the summer

Just thought I would ask if there is much of a performance difference over my current 6950 2gb card?

Not sure how much of a difference the 'boost' models are, but i'd imagine it to be a side grade if anything.

Don't bother. Go for a 7950 at least as an upgrade, or you would only be disappointed.

Prices are twice as much though for a 7950, best off just stopping with what I already have?

Can you not sell your current card and put it towards a 7950?

I think you are missing my point...I was merely saying anything lesser than a 7950 ain't worth your money nor time, coming from what you currently got.

Going from previous gen mid/high card to current gen entry level card isn't gonna be a worthwhile upgrade it is as simple as that.

Agree with Marine, not really an improvement in what you have.

 

[Bacon?]

Not worth it, it'll be a sidegrade not an upgrade at best.

A very good point, I think that is what i will end up doing.

Selling the games on too will get you £25-30 back as well.
