[tkin]

thanks guys.

i will get whatever is 14k (6950 sapphire or TFII or 560 TFII) whenever i buy.

560TI for upto 1920x1080, if you go higher get 6950 2GB

6950 2gb is already 15k, so by June end there's every possibility it will come down further.

 

[Extreme Gamer]

imho get a 6950 2GB and mod it.

get a model with dual bios.

Sapphire HD 6950 2 GB is already available @ 14.3K in M.D. Computers, Kolkata. During last visit, I've verified it. Tenida was also with me. So there is no point for going GTX 560 Ti. This Sapphire model can be unlocked to HD 6970...I have checked some reviews too.
With the shader count of HD 6970, withount any overclocking it will perform near to HD 6970....like a under-clocked HD 6970. I think it is one of the best deals available right now.

Unlocking to 6970 won't be very easy these days. Like the MSI R6950 Twin Frozr II which has removed the BIOS switch. See here:-

Even XFX has done the some. There are several failed reports of unlocking in the newer batch of cards. Some others are reporting high temperature (both idle and load). I got a feeling that just like all the retail 6950 1gb (Sapphire, XFX, HIS) uses the 6870 PCB basically these dirt-cheap 2gb cards are also using some other modified PCB rather than the original one which is somewhat preventing the cards to get unlocked stably. So if the Sapphire card is one of the earlier batches, then its really nice. Heck, its even priced lower than my 1gb card. Before purchasing just make sure you check out the dual BIOS switch actually exists to save some pain in future.

In any case, the 6950 is a hell of a card in its own right. If it can be unlocked to 6970 it is a added bonus IMO.
