Would it be worth selling my XFX GTX295 1792MB graphics card, and buying:
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-254-AS&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1752
(Asus ATI Radeon HD 6950 DirectCU II 2048MB GDDR5)

The reason I ask is because I've heard that this card runs well in BF3, and I'm quite sick of the GTX295's issues such as micro stuttering and what not, also the ATI 6950 has 2GB of GDDR5 (300mb~ more than the GTX295) and it's a DX11 card.

Opinions?

If you are getting micro-shuttering in games you would want to play, then I would say it's definitely worth it.

While on frame rate numbers the 6950 2GB might be less on the average frame rate, but it will have higher minimum frame rate than the GTX295 and will overall feel smoother, especially with no micro-shuttering.

However, people are still rumouring that AMD mid-range card will be out by the end of the year, with some saying yes and some saying no...so I'm not sure if you are willing to wait a little bit longer.

Hmm, the 6950 does sound like it's worth the price. I'm going to see how much I can get for my GTX295 anyway.
