6950 upgrade

Recommended Posts

So the 6950 is a decent card... but not for GPU rendering unfortunatly

anyway to prevent rambling I'll post the story in a very short format

Brother can't as fast as he needs to even with GPU rendering

He needs a new card as his work centres around animation and graphic design

Looking at either 7970, 670, 680 or one of the cards in the Firepro, Quattaro series

Is it worth the upgrade from a 6950 to a 7970 is basically what I'm asking, while I listed the

other cards I just need a baseline thing

Nvidia pretty much has a big advantage for rendering. IIRC the 5 series from Nvidia is a bit stronger in GPU compute than the newer 6 series cards. A GTX 570/580 would probably be a good buy depending on the specific software he's using.
