6950 vs 4890?

[Quitoman]

Is the XFX 6950 2GB twice as fast as the XFX 4890 1GB OC Edition?

Probably 50% faster at 1920x1080....

(Although 6950 not shown, it is roughly as fast as the GTX480....)

Yeah around 50%, but it's also cooler and quieter

EDIT: it can also be unlocked into 6970, which is another 20% faster.

Check out the difference:

Far Cry 2 is at least one title where you're getting over double the framerate with the 6950. I don't care how much you OC the 4890, the 6950 is definitely an upgrade.
