Only really use up to 1920x1080 though, so I don't know if even the 1GB 6950 pulls ahead at high res. How does the 590 stack up to this card? Utterly destroys it, and is a direct competitor for the 6990, but given the 6950 is about $450, and the 590 and 6990 are about $1100, it's to be expected. imo the 6950 is AMD's best-placed GPU at the moment - offers good performance for it's pricepoint, and that performance level is high enough for most average gamers. That said, like Sol, I'd go the 560Ti myself ;)	inphinity (7274)

Still, unless this one craps out, I'm stuck with it for a while, I hope I'll be happy with it. Thanks for all comments, its always interesting to hear what others have to say. I've traditionally been an Nvidia fan, but this is my 2nd Ati, had bad experiences with Ati in the past so the jury is still out for me if I'll stick with it or go back to Nvidia - the last one I had was a Geforce 9600 GT which was good in its day. Thanks all.	Iantech (16386)
