I've been looking in the whole forums but there are still some questions I would like to ask (I've seen the other 560 ti vs 6950).
I have a 7600 GT right now, and I think its time to upgrade, heh. I got a new 1080 p 24" dell monitor and another 22" , so I plan on gaming on max settings 1080p.
My first question is the Twin Frozr ll vs Twin Frozr lll? The Twin Frozr lll is 20 dollars more, is it worth ?
The http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...16814102914&cm_re=6950-_-14-102-914-_-Product sapphire radeon 6950 is supposedly unlock-able according to the reviews and it sells out every time I see it go back in stock. It costs around 260 after mir and shipping
The MSI Twin Frozr ll http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127565&cm_re=560_ti-_-14-127-565-_-Product is 230 after mir and shipping.
Is the 6950 2gb worth the extra 30 bucks. Correct me, but I've seen reviews that say the 6950 uses less power, but the fan noise is unbearable. My motherboard supports sli/cf but I will probably keep this card for 2~3 years.
Also theres another question, I know that I can have 3 monitors if I get a second graphics card (use my 7600) and plug one monitor in there. I know its not anything like eyefinity. But can I play games like, minecraft and assassin's creed brother hood in windows mode and play across the 3 monitors?
THANK YOU in advance. I've been waiting over 5 months to buy a graphics card. I built a new pc just for gaming but no gpu yet.

I edit videos occasionally with sony vegas and after effects. Not sure if CUDA is worth it though, I can't find any benchmarks to see the difference between render times of cpu or gpu CUDA. and sony vegas (i use it the most) doesn't have much cuda support. I think my i7 is fine just for rendering?
