My good old Radeon HD 4870 has started to get flakey and I need to upgrade. I'd like to upgrade to an HD 6950 but I am worried about being CPU limited. Also if the 6950 doesn't work what is the best I can do?
System Specs:
Phenom II X 4 940 BE oc to 3.5Mhz
4 GB DDR2 RAM
P.S. I don't have to money to upgrade the core of my system so don't bother suggesting it.
A 6950 would be a good choice. Don't bother with the 2gb model though unless your running multiple monitors.

What do you mean when you say it mitigates the value? Are you saying that the performance between the two cards is similar and that I should just save the money?
