well the time has come to upgrade it

unfortunatly dont quiet have the money for a 6950

got around 150 so its either 5850 or 6850..
preferably the ones with 2 dvi outputs.. i still use vga monitors

which would you choose?

n please dont recomend any nvidia cards.. mobo supports crossfire so i plan on using that in the future...

so which is best 5850 or 6950?

jus wondering peoples reasons for going the 6850 route over 5850's really

I think, if I remembered correctly the 6850 when launched was cheaper than the 5850, but Ocuk managed to get a good deal with the 5850.

The 5850 is a cracking card.
