I would go for the 6950 and then unlock the shaders by flashing the BIOS to make it perform practically on par with 6970 which will save you around 80. It was possible with the first release batch of the 6950 and obviously you loose your warranty as well. You can pick up a 6950 for approximately 160VeNoM_JaCKaL

ok well i'm cheap then haha. What do you guys reccomend for a 100 budget?

Don't buy cheap speakers from Logitech. The only quality audio stuff thet make is the high end stuff $300+

Blue-Sky

yeah man. dx11 with the highres textures RAPES my setup. I get about 25 frames average. dips to 15-18frames sometimes.

So you think if he goes down to 150 i'm good?

5870s, 5850s, and 5830s are selling for alot because of bitcoins. I see 5850s selling for over 200 bucksAutoPilotOn

...bitcoins? So go for it?

haha yeah i thought 170 was high. I'll talk to him tomorrow and see if can lower it a bit. Do you think it's going to be a good performance boost as oposed to buying a new card?

So i have a friend selling his XFX 5870 for $170. Should I go for it and crossfire it with my 5870?
