Which AMD Radeon HD 6950?

[SpazldNinjaDude]

AMD Radeon HD 9650 should I get.
I was thinking of getting the dual fan Asus (as I have an Asus motherboard). But there are no HDMI ports avaliable.
I don't want to have to use adapters as it means there is one more connection that go can wrong, and also I want true 1080p HD for my screen.
So the other option is the standard looking Asus.

What does you guys think? Should I use an ATX? That was suggested to my by an IT technition, and also a friend. One of my other mates has a Gigabyte motherboard and 9650, so he suggested to go with the Asus, but I though ask everyone not just 3 people.

Cheers people,

just pick which ever you like. there is no problem pairing asus card with gigabyte mobo or vice versa. performance wise both card should perform just the same. btw it is weird for recent cards did not include HDMI interface.

Sapphire is always solid, followed by xfx. The only thing I would say in cement is Diamond is lackluster at best for it's price

do the connecters have AMD on them (the PCI-e connector)? i forgot the name of the actual thing of why, but yer, ill put 2 link one for the VTX and the shappire.
The sapphire doesnt look like it has the AMD on the PCI-e connector.

What exactly are you referring to? are you talking about crossfire or am I a bit lost here.

I attempted to decipher the OP and assumed you wanted to know "Which 6950 to get" which really narrows it down to brands, at which point Sapphire is a VERY proven brand.

Are you also seeking mother boards?
