I'm currently running the setup in my sig and I'm looking to run bf3 on ultra with 4xmsga or whatever it is what would you recommend graphics card wise, Probably will have around a £500 budget will to change mobo and other things also.

On current setup only getting all high apart from low texture details and 16xAA
 
Possibly another 6950 for xfire. I5 2500k and a new motherboard? That'd be about £450

Are you wanting to sell your current card or keep that in the build
 
You say you have £500 to change the motherboard and other things. If you don't want to go Sandybridge/Bulldozer, what exactly are the "other things"?
 
I have £500 to spend at christmas, as my GPU is faulty I believe which i've linked above I was wondering what would you do with that £500 if it was you :D 500 quid graphics card or 100 mobo, 100 cpu, 300 gpu? Open to suggestions.
 
CF 6950 are better than a single 580 yes.

However it would give you the option to get another 580 at a later date if y ou feel the need to upgrade that
 
ditch the 1gb card and get 2 MSI ATI Radeon HD 6950 OC Twin FrozR III Power Edition 2048MB there on special this week £215.99 each bargain! They will blow a 580gtx 2bits!
 
If it was me I'd test the card in another machine, if you still get the same issue's then RMA the card again but this time link the video's so they can see the problem.

Oh and another vote for the Twin FrozR's
