Fantastic looking card! This is the first card since the 8800GT that might actually lure me back to the dark side! £200 on launch is very promising, planning a build for April, hopefully it'll have dropped to the £180 mark by then. Even better, perhaps AMD will slash the price of the 6950 which has been creeping up of late.
The HD6950 1GB has been released already.Originally Posted by Nobull
It trades blows with the GTX560 1GB:

In Metro2033 which is an Nvidia sponsered game the HD6950 1GB destroys the GTX560 1GB.
Any ideas on pricing for the 6950 1GB? Really could do with a vicious price war. havn't seen one between the red and the green team in ages!
AFAIK,the GTX560TI and HD6950 1GB should be around the same price.
Just as I suspected. Hope one of them jumps the gun and tries to undercut the other. Should be a fun few weeks in the GPU market. Can't wait for april!
Amazing little card Nvidia now lead in all areas Budget, Medium and High End
pirce war ftw? anyone expect GTX560/6870/6950s for under 160 quid in a couple months?
So tempted to upgrade from my 9800GTX+...
Nice card.
Could someone tell me why, given the system load numbers, I should be buying a 700w PSU?
Rather like the look of teaming this with Silverstone SFF 450W PSU the small factor PSU gives me more room for a water cooled system
Rollo, is that you?
How does this lead the 6950 1gb, and what nVidia card leads the 5970?
CAT-THE-FIFTH (25-01-2011),Terbinator (25-01-2011)
Not really.
At £100 and below AMD destroys everything Nvidia has. The GTS450 can barely match an HD5750 and does so with a much bigger GPU.
At below £150,the HD6850 1GB is faster than the GTX460 768MB and matches the GTX460 1GB. The HD6870 1GB can only be matched by massively overclocked GTX460 cards.
Even the HD6850 1GB can reach 1GHZ+ clockspeeds for the GPU.
However,the GTX460 uses a 330MM2+ GPU whereas the HD6850 and HD6870 use a 255MM2 GPU.
The GTX560 has a slightly smaller GPU than an HD6950 and yet at stock clockspeeds is not faster in many cases. However,the HD6970 which has the same GPU as the HD6950 is faster overall than a GTX560 unless the latter is massively overclocked.
However,the GTX570 is 520MM2 when compared to the 389MM2 GPU the HD6970 has.
Bearing in mind ATI are due to slash the prices of the 6870, 6950 1gb/2gb the price war for the £200 market is going to hot up.

If the price is correct a 6950 2gb would set you back £207, basically the same as the 560.
all good for us consumers!
YAY! Let the Price War begin!
Getting one of these soon!
'Destroys' ? Like Dirt 2, the AMD game you mean, except theres 10FPS in favour of Nvidia.
OTOH, MSI 560 for £203 on Scan...
Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.
