Can someone talk me out of the 195 480 deal!!

why ?

and, if looking for a single card would you choose 480 or 6950 ?

I think the 6970s (flashed 6950s) are better in Crossfire than the 480s in SLI but don't take my word on it.

OP, don't do it, it's not worth the hassle. You'll sell your current graphics with the cooler fitted on at loss, probably £150 or so (just had a quick look at the MM) and will have to cope with the noise and temps of a 480 (and getting an aftermarket cooler was surely reasoned by the noise and temps) that are even worse than a stock 470.

The only sensible criticism that you can throw at it is that it's a loud card, if you can cope with that or plan to fit an aftermarket cooler then it's an absolute bargain.

Heat for some may be a bigger factor as the extra heat may make overclocks unstable. I agree though its a great card for the price. If i was buying now i would get one as my case would cope easy and my psu also.
