The displayed prices are always high..
Eg: 2500k - 11.4K, but can be bought for 10.4K in the same shop..

Due to flood in Thailand HDD price is expected to touch the sky and it is confirmed by various leading tech news sites. We may see things to be costly for next few months till everything is under control.
Anyone who want to buy new HDD be ready to pay more...
It seems it is not a good time to buy the PC now..

ok - got it
why can't sellers update their website regularly with latest prices that will match the shop price and price mentioned on the website - this will create less confusion.

BMG ftw!!
But that requires very good communication skill, right?
Then that's a very very good deal.
Because most of them can't update them by themselves & are not so much interested about their website.

no skud. the cooler on sapphire PCIE is much more silent.
The cheapest HD6950 on newegg is this :
Newegg.com - XFX HD-695X-ZNFC Radeon HD 6950 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card with Eyefinity
but by paying $10 more getting GIGABYTE GV-R695UD-1GD Radeon HD 6950 1GB or SAPPHIRE 100312-1GDP Radeon HD 6950 1GB makes more sense

^^ hey topgear some days back toms hardware made a vross review on hd6950 1gb cards from various manufacturers in that gigabyte card performed the best(though it was OCed)
second came his card,sapphire card was last from the lot even losing to the xfx card mentioned above.Though a free game is given but not the fastest card...!

Not exactly. If you look at the benchmarks, 6950 1gb is marginally ahead of 2gb card at 1080p and even 25x16 res, probably due to more parallel access to VRAM. It's only when you are running at higher res, including Eyefinity setup and may be even in CFX setup that additional VRAM comes into play. So for single card setup with monitor size up to 27", it doesn't matter really. But yes, 2gb is more future-proof and if available at 1-1.5k more than the 1gb card, then it makes sense to get the extra VRAM. Otherwise, its your call really.

It is not the parallel access but the memory latency, because irrespective of density all channels available are used. With higher density comes higher latency.
It also depends on the game. CPU bound ones dont count in this regard.

As far as the recommendation goes i would prefer gigabyte 6950 1gb oc coz it performs better...faster card..through out the review but only one thing availability is the issue here in India.
I've read that review - if XFX can improve the build quality of gfx cards ( they send in here ) and after sales service only then I can recommend any XFX products.
Now coming to the review : the Sapphire HD6950 consumed more power ( this might be due to high gpu vocre setting ) and gave ~1 fps less but it's also ran 9c cooler than the XFX card- so the Sapphire HD6950 can be OCed more and more performance can be achieved from this.
IF you consider the Performance/Value chart then it's the second best gfx card on the test and for these good reasons Sapphire's dual-fan HD 6950 1GB GDDR5 PCIE got the Tom's Hardware second best approved award
