Afternoon all
Been trying to decide on a card that will enable me to play battlefield 3 on a pretty high setting, took some good advice from the good people on this forum and have come down to the ATI Radeon HD 6950 2048mb, there are a couple of different ones under different brands are they more or less the same, will I need to change anything else on my rig or can I get away with what I have. I could wait for the 7 series but I guess that is going to cost. will wait a month anyhow because the prices might fall before the new cards come out. Once again thanks for your help.
PS play gaming at 1920x1080, and my budget is more or less £200
 
Loads of threads all with the same topic!:confused:
So I'll just quote myself again if it's a 6950 you are after:


I would get these instead, they have toxic coolers that dump the heat out the back:

They come pre shader flashed on the bios(not guaranteed to work though) with fantastic overclocking potential:

It can even stomp all over stock 6970 and 580's:
