I've pretty much made up my mind on a 6950 (was damn close to settling on it when the unlock articles came out and that just sold me) one thing is though there's a distinct possibility i'll go X-Fire either when I buy it or a little later (depending on exact budget)...which obviously presents a problem with the reference cooler...
I've never paid attention to the delay between a reference card and custom built coolers in the past so I was wondering if there was a somewhat standard delay time before they come out or if it's pretty much random?
alternatively I could buy one soonish and one down the track with the different cooler which would probably avoid the problem entirely...
But yeah anyway was looking at upgrading in Feb/March (mebbe get the graphics card early if anything comes out about amd stopping the unlocks) so would it be reasonable to expect non reference 6950's by then?
