3.Zion 4GB 1333MHz DDR3 Ram
4.1TB Seagate HDD
5.LG E2260V LED Full HD Monitor
I have a graphics card which is very ordinary.Now I want to buy a graphics card that can run latest games with their maximum settings in Full HD resolution.I research a lot and also get adviced from others but still I have confusions about the graphics card.The confusion is which one is better from other and I should go for the better one.The 2 graphics cards are Sapphire HD Radeon 6950 1GB & Sapphire HD Radeon 6870 1GB.Many of my friend told me to buy the HD Radeon 6950 but I'm not fully Convinced that 6950 is better than the 6870.So plz convince me which one is better than other that means Which graphics card I should buy that can help to run the maximum latest games with their maximum game settings in Full HD resolution.Plz help me and what should be the accurate PSU for the graphics card?

If you can afford the 6950 then go for it.

I run an overclocked 6870 (1000/1200), and while I can run 95% of my games at 1080p flawlessly, there are still a few games that could use a little extra power to remain smooth while maxed out.

My rig has the 6870 and 2500K 4.5 Ghz. When playing Battlefield 3 on outdoor maps like Caspian Border, I generally get 40-70 fps on High settings with 2XAA.

Thanks buddy for your valuable opinion.It helps me a lot.Can you do me one more favour by telling me that is Sapphire Radeon HD 6950 1GB is also better than GEforce GTX 560 ti.Another thing is that is the memory type of Sapphire HD Radeon 6950 is DDR5 V6?and if that then what is the advantage of it?
