Would it be worth selling my gtx 550ti for a HD 6970 ? because my friend is buying 2 gtx 680's to sli and he told me he would sell his 6970 cheap ?Yes. Regardless of price, if he is selling it for less and you know it works 100% then it is without a doubt worth it. The 6970 is in a different class than the 550ti. The 550ti is more of a lower mid-range card geared toward budget gamers. The 6970 is last gen flagship card of AMD if you don't count the 2 processor 6990. Check out the comparison below. The 6970 is nearly 50% faster in everything. If you can get it for under $100 it is a steal.
Also, check the other comparison. The GTX 670, a $400 card, is only 10-15% faster than the 6970. The only downfall is that it is PCI-e 1.0. But even with PCI-e 1.0, it falls somewhere between a GTX 660ti and a GTX 670 in terms of performance.
The 6970 is still being sold for $250 new some places.
