Black64 Posted December 2, 2011 Posted December 2, 2011 (edited) So I was offered today a GIGABYTE Radeon HD 6950 1GB for about $210 and a XFX AMD ATI Radeon HD 6970 2GB for about $300. I was wondering if I should take one? I am using tri-monitors and my fps is suffering quite a bit . If I buy one of these I could sell my 6850 and make up most of the loss. I am still waiting for the 7xxx series but my fps is getting annoying. I can wait, but it seems like a good deal. I have a HIS 6850 1GB right now. I game at 1920x1080. Any help is great! I am definitely considering the 6950, I like that cooler and I think it should be a good upgrade. Any thoughts?

Fogel Posted December 2, 2011 Posted December 2, 2011 That a used price... because if so If new, it's a better price than what is currently offered ...unless you like XFX. With the new cards so close to release though I say tough it out! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cery25 Posted December 2, 2011 Posted December 2, 2011 if you use 3 monitors i think you should go with a 2 gb 6950 or go for that 6970 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black64 Posted December 2, 2011 Posted December 2, 2011 if you use 3 monitors i think you should go with a 2 gb 6950 or go for that 6970 I definitely want a 2GB, but would the faster GPU help me out, because i do use 3 monitors, but I don't game on all 3 at the same time. I only use my main for gaming but the higher res takes it toll on my GPU. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fogel Posted December 2, 2011 Posted December 2, 2011 I don't tink 2GB+ would matter much unless your resolution was ABOVE 1900x1080, or going Eyefinity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black64 Posted December 2, 2011 Posted December 2, 2011 OK, I guess I will wait then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
momosmokey Posted December 3, 2011 Posted December 3, 2011 I agree with the others, just wait it out. I'm getting myself a GTX 560 to hold me over, but that's because I'm running on integrated graphics at the moment. The HD 7900's should definitely be worth the wait though.

cooluser Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 If I were you, I would wait the HD 7000 series. They are rumored to be pretty close and will be made with the 28nm process, that will probably allow (unless it is severely flawed) a much bigger performance increase than the HD 6000 series was.
