will there be much point??

[Squeeze]

hi looking at buying a new card was just wondering is there much point in getting a card with 4gb memory such as this one

or just stick with the 2 gb version i play stuff like bf3

thanks again

p.s what do you think is a good price to sell hd6950 2gb i was thinking around £100

No point unless you're running a very high res.

whats very high was looking at getting a new monitor at later date with 2560x1440 but at the mo im at 1920x1080

For that sort of money i would be looking at a 7970.

7970 better? just fancied a change from amd

Yeah 7970. It's faster, but also has more memory (3GB) so you can't lose. I'd recommend this one:

I own it. It's bloody good.

Yes,

I have two.

Why not crossfire your current card for peanuts?

I dunno about that one!

I have had tri-fired a 5970+5870 before i sold them.

Now i have 2 7970s

Neither have had problems.

no stutter i couldnt deal with that

 

[chief barker]

Get a 7970 and clock it then....job done.

 

[humbug]

The best bang for £ right now is actually the 7950.

The 6950's usually sell for around £100, i actually got £140 for mine but that was a while ago now.
