    Post XFX 6950 Questions.

    I'm thinking about buying the XFX 6950 DD cooling card ,wondering if anyone has one of these and got anything to say about it.
    At the moment im borrowing a 6870 and wondered if the 6950 will be better in gaming ?

    Do you mean buying new? I'd suggest the 7850 over the 6950.

    But yeah, the 6870 is outperformed a little by the 6950.

    Not much of a noticeable difference there,

    A 7850 can be had for the same price as a 6950, it draws less power and has better performance, The logical choice would be a 7850, unless you can get the 6950 dirt cheap
