Which cards?

[Omega]

With such a wide choice of cards... I'm stumped on which one to get.

My plan is to get one and then another one next month for Xfire/SLI

So my choices are GTX 580 / 570 / 6950 flashed to 6970.

Judging by the prices the 6950 is the biggest money saver.

However getting a 570/580 and not bothering with bios flashing also interests me.

What do you think guys?

What's your budget? Money no object, get a 580. The GTX480's are probably the best value at the moment at under £200 though. Or if the noise and heat worry you, the 6950 is decent value too.

My choice is dual 6950 or gtx570 and go with the best price, i think theres so little difference In performance

Ok I've gone for the HIS 6950 on this weeks only I'll grab another next month

My 570 beats most 6950's in benchmarks, well impressed with it.

I would get a 480. All this heat chat make it sound like the card is unusable or something.

i personally would go for a 6950 flashed to 6970

I have 2 x 480 heat not a problem nor is noise! Isn't there a chance of problems with drivers for crossfire?
