skud thanks. but 6870 is not far behind 5870 and uses a better tessalator. less power consuming.

anyways your experience with 6950 1gb?

Very good. Although I know my CPU is acting like a crab :( I can't explain it with proof but Dirt 2 feels really different with the DX11 effects. It silk smooth even at 8xAA at Full HD res. Besides the cooler is very silent running. Only during stress testing you will come to know about its existence.


Actually, I personally was very keen to get rid of the 6870 as I felt its a bit underpowered for its price point compared to 6950 1gb or 560Ti. My bigger concern was the length of the card as the AMD ref designs were too long to fit in my cramped cabby. So once Manufacturers slapped the 6950 1gb on 6870 pcb i just grab one. If you can save some more, go for it.

In that case get it from US. Because it is very unlikely Indian prices will be anywhere closer to that. You may also look for a 6870 which is faster than 5850.

I also think so, particularly if you want to go multi GPU or multi monitor in future. However, the 560Ti is a bit cheaper which bring both of them on par. Either way, you won't regret.

That's the case of reference cards. Currently most (probably all) of the 6950 1gb in the market (Sapphire, HIS, XFX) sports custom cooler. These cards uses the 6870 PCB so is much shorter in size and cool running. On the minus side, there's no dual BIOS switch. I do agree 560Ti is cooler among the two although its got higher power consumption.

^^ Yes, 560Ti FTW..... It's not that i am biased towards NVIDIA, but 560 with that price point surely a nice deal and Jaz knows this. But still his FANBOI'SM is not letting him choose Green over Red. (juz kidding)

IMO 560 runs lot cooler than it's Red rivals....
