feedback on 6950 2gb

[larryddd]

After playing battlefield 3 beta for a couple of days now and pretty surprised how well it ran with my old card it confirmed I need a new graphics card, I knew this before I started playing. I intend to do it in stages with the card first,psu,memory and the rest after Christmas, I think my psu will be ok for now. not sure which of the 2gb cards to go for which is whey I would appreciate some feedback on anyone playing the above card. is the different cards just down to warranty in the end and will the card fit in my case ok. thanks for taking the time
budget £400 and play at 1920x1080

I've currently got a 6950 2gb and love it, so much better than my 4890 was.

I'm getting a second for xfire soon though as I want to play any and all games throw at me on maximum settings.

Your 550w wouldnt be enough for two though, if you were to stretch to about £450 you could get a new psu and if you shop around two 6950's

I bought the MSI version, the Twin Frozr III Power Edition and I love it, its a huge card buy will run anything you throw at it, if you get 2 and Crossfire them, it will handle anything
