1217870 2011-07-20 11:30:00 I got a new graphics card today, took a few (not very good) pics of it before I put it in to share.

Its a 2Gb Sapphire HD 6950 (www.sapphiretech.com), havent managed to put it through its paces yet but looking forward to it when I find the time.


My old graphics card is a Gigabyte GV-R583UD-1GD HD 5830 (www.gigabyte.co.nz), it was bought in March last year. Thought I might offer it to PF1 members first before banging it on trademe or something, if anyone is interested in more info PM me.
Cheers
Ian

1217874 2011-07-20 22:50:00 I have to say, even though I don't really like ATI\AMD cards, the 6950 is very hard to beat when it comes to price/performance.
You could of got a better manufacturer though...Sapphire suck enormously!

1217876 2011-07-20 23:33:00 The 6950 Looks to be around the amount I'd like to spend, be interesting to see how she runs BF3. Metla (12)

Yeah, up to 1080, then the AMD card stretches the lead somewhat . . . . . I would prefer the 560, however >1GB memory starts to come into play at HD resolution!

I guess the 560 is a few dollars cheaper!
