With the Sapphire Radeon HD 6950, we're getting into serious graphics card territory here, and inevitably that means serious money too. At over £200 that's a lot to spend on a single component if you're talking about an upgrade purchase. But it's AMD's...

but by the end of it, though, I'll have a definitive answer for you. Before we get onto the performance side of things, let's see the package Sapphire is offering before we take a closer look at the actual...
Bottom line You kind of get this feeling that the motto at AMD is "If you can't beat them on performance, beat them on price". It seems to be something that has constantly held true over the last couple of generations of cards we've seen from the team, previous...

Just last week we got our first look at NVIDIA’s based on the GF110 GPU. NVIDIA went back and made some changes to not only make the new cards faster, but for them to consume less power and run cooler. While everyone has been excited about the...

Bottom line It is good to see AMD get the 6900 series cards out before Christmas and before the end of the year, but where does the HD 6950 really stand. With the price point of $300 it puts itself in between NVIDIA’s GTX 470 and GTX 570. Now in our testing were...

AMD decided to mix things up a bit when they released the HD6000 series, first by releasing the midrange cards before the high-end, and next by using previous high end naming schemes to describe them. So while the HD 5870 was the previous generation "...

Nvidia recently launched the GTX 580 and GTX 570, based on the refined Fermi core. The GF110 used in the GTX 580 and GTX 570 rectified some issues with the original Fermi, namely the high power consumption and heat output. Nvidia was able to further i...

Bottom line Overall, the Sapphire Radeon HD 6950 is a very good card. It's price point is poised to take over the spot that the 5870 holds currently. The numbers, indeed, justify that is a good spot for it to be. I was a bit skeptical about the new numbering schem...
