Looking to buy a new graphic card soon.

Just wondering if anyone knows of a good graphics card comparison websites so i can compare card performance etc.

Cheers in advance.
 
that site states that the 5970 is a lot better than the newer 6970?

A HD 5970 is 2 slightly downclocked HD 5870 GPU's on one card

A HD 6950 is a single GPU that's why the HD 5970 is better.

The closest comparison to a HD 5970 would be a HD 6990 or a pair of HD 6950's or HD 6970's.

No surprising really? :confused: The 5970 is dual GPU and the 6970 is the single GPU 5870 replacement, albeit daftly named

The 69501gb is faster than the 2gb version. :D

The 1GB version came out after, probably newer optimised drivers causing the difference. The extra VRAM will only come into it if the upper limits of 1GB are reached too
