The 6950 is not really anywhere near powerful enough to run the most demanding games at high settings on triple monitor resolutions. You'll be able to play things, just expect to turn settings down pretty substantially on demanding games.

As for how they compare:

and since you're interested in high resolution:


Full review with easy 69xx to 68xx comparison is here: http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/AMD/HD_6950_1_GB/5.h...

i've got 3 x 24" screens in ifinity.
it seems to keep up okay.
i was playing assains creed2, it does'nt lag.
when in ifinity it creates a new resolution.

I did use two 6770's in crossfire, but 1 x 6950 performed better.

maybe 2 x 6870's will do better than my earlier test.

a mate of mine uses 2 x 6850's. he said it works like a boss :) 

hope this helps. cheers, Rolly

side note, read up on flex version of cards, vs display port adapters etc. cheers =)

eyefinity is a setting. it's based on profiles.

i turn mine on and off.

if it's off, games run on the 'main' screen. for my pc, the middle screen.
it's handy.... i run monitoring tools on the other screens so i can see temp, processing power, memory in use etc

& BigMack70 is right, i think some games you'll need to turn the settings down if using eyefinity, most games seem fine on one screen thou (ie. not laggy on high settings).

How would it run most games on a single monitor?

I was just in a rush when I posted this, did not have time to actually look up, but after having a chance to look at that link, it sounds much better than i thought, i did not think it was better than the 560ti either.

Also, That is a pretty cool feature about the Eyefinity where you can just turn it on or off, i though you would have had to go into the setting and reconfigure it every time. Im not sure if i am every going to have triple monitors, but i want to have the ability to if down the road i decide i want to.
