Hi all im stuck and cant decide which of the 2 69xx cards to buy, I only use 1 monitor 1900x1200 current card 4870 1gb and game wise its WoW, medal if Honour and fallout new vegas. I am thinking if I pick up a 6950 and then later on in the year when I upgrade could pick up another 1 and xfire them but as I said not sure what to do.

6950 or 6970

There is only 10-15% performance difference between the two and £60 in price.
You should be able to squeeze around the same overclocks from both cards and the performance difference shouldn't be larger than 10% (in fact the 6970 is clocked 10% faster than the 6950 so you should be able to make it < 7% or so).

I have HD4870 in Xfire and i have gone for one 6970 now then much later buy another for Xfire.
It's very hard deciding what to purchase when you have limited funds "children and all that"
but after asking a few questions on this great forum i just feel thats the right choice for me.
2 X 6950 looks amazing though
I downloaded 10:12 for my 4870's and in Black ops it seems to be very very smooth ?

I did the samething, nearly went for 6950 in xfire as do with my 4870 but I thought get a single 6970 now and xfire later. Work out better in the long run
