  1. those cards are pure sex. Id probably want the 7950 though if I was getting an XFX DD card. seems to make more sense, especially when overclocked to the limit.

  2. Good cards, but far too many to choose from in the last 2 weeks. hard to know what to buy (if I was in the market).

  3. HD6850 is the better value card IMO, its under £200 now in the UK, 6870 is too closely priced to 6950 IMO
