That would be fine after the patch. Civ5 has been out how long now
This is about the OP's choice and it counts for him to wait.:thumbsup: Its not about AMD or Nvidia. :thumbsdown:
Your so busy trying to bash a AMD card down someones throat, you forgot that we are trying to help someone.
Doesnt matter now but here is an older 1080p review http://www.hardwareheaven.com/revie...n-6950-graphics-card-review-introduction.html Look at the most important stat minimum frames. They are not even the 6970 only wins 1 game and another by 1 fps.
Oh yeah thats right we have to exclude certain games because AMD can't match Nvidia's performance in them.
Ok and use 4x af, AMD cards crash with it on.
"HardOCP even noted that HD6990 tanked with anything above 4xAF irrc. Therefore, it seems this game is either very demanding or the drivers are unoptimized for both camps at this point."

Come on man!! Thats a brand new game and will be fixed in a week or 2, with new drivers.
260$ for a 6950 or 270$ for gtx570 and you are gonna argue the 6950?
Give me a break!:thumbsdown:
Why do you resort to this in every thread, " I am done with this, I am done with that," it's a discussion , if you would rather rant than discuss you can close the thread and move along.Lol I'm done in this thread too many AMD excuses. If you have the money get the 570 its the faster card at 1080p, has Physx, Cuda, Folding, better tessellation, better control panel, and more consistent performance across a wide variety of games.

What are you talking about? I recommend Nvidia cards in almost all of my threads. It is my opinion in this case that the 6950 is a better buy as you wont notice any difference going from a STOCK 6950 to a STOCK 570 at 1920x1080 and if you can you deserve a cookie and milk.
Excluding dragon age 2 that may or may not get a new driver that increases performance of course.
Price to performance the AMD 6950 2 GB is the best no doubt about that,

14fps, thats no difference? 57 fps vs 71 fps. Remember thats an average framerate, I'm sure the 6950 drops in to the 40's in that game. Try to play online it will drop further.
you are cherry picking games again too (not that BF:BC2 you would notice a difference)
At 10$ more by all means he should get the GTX 570 but I was under the impression that the deal sold out.Even when the gtx570 is 10$ more, you came a little late.
Really guys look at what your saying here, 10$ more for a card that is faster then a 6970 @ 1080p.
I think you are all smarter then this, do you know what this makes you look like?
think about it.
I'm gone also.

You won't be missed.
:thumbsdown:
you asked me to cherry pick , you said 1 game. By the way I have another.
see ya.

It's OOS so what are you trying to prove?
But I will say this that difference between the AMD 6950/GTX 570/AMD 6970 is pretty freakin small and it comes down to which brand you prefer. Pick your color and move on and the OP obviously had his mind made up before starting the thread because the poll is clearly showing which card the majority would pick while OP is picking the other card. Nothing wrong with that at all it's just your preference no one can/should judge you by that. Enjoy the the GTX 570, it's a heck of a card no doubt about that.

More like in a sane forum, if the OP came in here looking for advice with a 6950 2gb and a 6970 I would give the same advice even thought the 6970 is faster. Absolute power is not always the best choice.Yeah in an AMD dominated forum Im sure I wont be. The OP said he isn't worried about saving a few bucks he wants the better card and clearly its the 570 in his case. If he was going for multi-monitor or 2560x1600 I would recomend the 6970 in a second. Damn me for not being bias and recommending a Nvidia card when it fits.
