Hiya!
So, ive got to decide my new gpu for my build and its standing between a 580 GTX from Evga or a powercollor 6950. This is srsly turning me emo :cry: since ive had trubbles with ati, sometimes popping up gpu drivers not responding, but none with nvidia. Now i know that the 6950 IS the best buy for the buck but i am kinda intrested in 3d somewhere in the future. This /those gpus will be watercooled, maybee overclocked later on if needed and possible unlocked in a year or 2 when games arnt running at max anymore. my friend runs 2 4870 and he has sometimes prob in games like two worlds with the corssfire. Havent seen anything on nvidia.
I had a 285GTx before i upgraded to 5970 sapphire. The 5970 had more horsepower but more issues aswell.

I could go on with this for hours....
:pt1cable:

So basicly what are you guys expiriense with those cards? Wich 1 would be best with my specs? I
any advices are welcome! I
thanx in advance=) V
