6950s.

So the 7970 prices are too damn high! I'm going to put a 6950 in my new build and wait until Kepler.

Do any of the 6950s unlock any more? The reviews for this one seem to say it unlocks, but obviously the reviews are old. Otherwise, what 6950 would most likely achieve decent clocks?

 

[Pete.Dakota]

So this Powercolor then?

 

[Pete.Dakota]

There are no free game deals running on 6950s at the moment.

Get the MSI Twin Frozr III Power Edition, it's awesomely epic!

Wouldn't it make more sense to spend a bit less money and get the cheapest 6970?

 

[Pete.Dakota]

Would rather pick a GTX570 than a £250 6950 or 6970.

I play at 1200p and am wary of VRAM issues - 570 only has 1.2GB.

Get the best of all worlds:

MSI HD6970 TFIII - £263.99 on TWO.

Basically a Lightning model (same PCB and components) but doesn't have the stock OC (a 5 minute job in MSI afterburner).

Considering the features and the package it is better than the GTX570 at the same price point.

Yeah, just saw that. Considering it!

 

[Pete.Dakota]

A £200 6950 will be fine.

There are no reviews on that Powercolor 6950 at all. And hardly any to be found online either. I'm sure there's nothing wrong with it; has it only been released recently?

 

[Pete.Dakota]

I've been away for a month so have missed most things. I can only find the PCS++ version which is clocked higher, cooler looks similar tho.

But OCUK don't sell it.

 

[Pete.Dakota]

Its probably £250+ for that card.

I've gone for the £199 Powercolor. Thanks for the input.
