6950 vs 7850

[bigal80ak]

I just bought a 6950 for 100$ Was wondering is that a good buy? I wanted to get the 7850 but since i spent less money about 50$ was it worth it to go for 6950? I game at 1680x1050 what would really be the performance increase? Thank you.

a 6950 for $100 is an awesome deal. enjoy man.
i would have bought the 6950 blindly if it were $100 in my country but instead had to buy 7750 for $140 because my country likes to loot its people (india)

Sorry but its not just in india... GPU are only good priced in the US... in Europe instead of a card of 200 $ US dollars u get the same here at europe for like 200€ (meaning 260 $ us dollars) sometimes more!

ya in Israel a hd6770 is 140$ and a hd6950 is like 280$
it's not fair.

i wish i was in usa. could buy all of my favorite hardware at dirt cheap prices. $100 for 6950 is crazy good.
for $100 in my country you only get a 6670 that too only ddr3 version not even ddr5.
ddr5 is $120. shame utter shame.
