hello there guys :)

i was wondering if someone could help me in this issue

im planing to buy a new gpu to replace mine wich is 5770 hawk and

im confused here i cant chose wich one 6950 or 6970 in the specs they are almost the same theres no diffrence but when i look at those benchmarking ppl do its like 70 for 6950 and 115 fps for 6970 so is there a big diffrence between those two.

or is the 6970 a dual GPU as i heard

thanks in advance :)

The 6990 is the dual GPU which is much faster than any AMD/ATI single GPU that has came out.

The 6970 is a single card that is a little bit faster than the 6950.

What you can do is buy a reference model of the 6950 and unlock it into a 6970.

6970 has more muscle on it, that's why it performs better, you can save yourself some $$$ and buy 6950 and unlock it into 6970, neither is Dual GPU
