One 6950 or two 460's?

[Gogators]

I can get the 6950 for $260 and the 460's for $240. Which is better?

that depends on a lot of different things, what are your computer specs, such as Motherboard, CPU, RAM, and PSU. What resolution do you game at?

 

[Gogators]

Well I'm going to get the i5-2500k + AS Rock P67 MoBo when they get re-released. I have an 850 XFX PSU. Then I will get http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231311 for my RAM.

I would go for the 6950 based on what you're going to get, what is your monitor resolution?

 

[Gogators]

1920x1080

 

[Griffolion]

Yeah, definitely the 6950.

The 2gb of VRAM also gives some nice headroom for the 6950 plus you might be able to BIOS flash it to a 6970 and even if not, you could easily add a 2nd card and have a sick eyefinity set up.

Ok I will go with the 6950. Thanks for the quick replies.
