6850 cf or 6950?

[hbriggs]

so should i get 6850 cf or 6950 because the price is about the same and performance is better in the 6850's but are the micro shuttering things bad enough to get the single card?
thanks in advance

As long as I keep my frames high enough (~ +50 in shooters), I don't notice micro-stuttering.

But, if you can stretch for 6870s, that would be better. Another possibility is to get a 6950 and nab a second one after 78xxa and 79xx series are released. They should drop in price once production stops, but you'd have to grab one quickly.

Depends on the rest of your system to be honest what resolution and what PSU ?
