- This is a powerful VGA with 2GB V RAM. So most games play amazingly smooth and fast with just a single 6950. If this card is in your price range and you are AMD fan go for it!, you will be very satisfied. If you are and Nvidia fan then maybe find competing Nvidia card and stick with Nvidia. Sometimes the transition can be difficult with drivers not removing properly by themselves and when you are used to one graphics card maker software it can be awkward adjusting to new software interfaces. I switched from Nvidia to AMD with this card and at first I was disappointed in the software configuration utility but after some updates and getting used to I am very glad that I switched to AMD.
- No need to talk about the performance in detail but briefly, this card is a beast because with a single card I could play every game in my PC at max setting like the Witcher2(all max except UberSampling) and Dirt3. Now I have 2 of them for Crossfire and I was lucky to get the second card since it's rare to find online or too expensive. My brother got 2 HIS instead.My PC specification:AMD 1090T (thermaltake frio fan)ASUS Formula VCorsair 8gb3 HDD (2 raid0)Thermaltake Case Chaser MK-I with 4 additional fans (2 200mm fan + 140mm + 120mm).Now, when I play CODMW2 or Dirt3 or Witcher2 or LoL or Civilization V :) the card temp will never exceed 55 degree. this is important to keep your card working…
