AMD Radeon HD 6950 1GB @ Techgage

The AMD 6950 is a great card, solid performance and actually runs pretty cool for the performance.  Of course one of the best things abuot teh card, at least the early ones, is the ability to flash and 6970 firmware and unlock more shaders and higher clock speeds.

AMD last week released a 1GB variant of its popular Radeon HD 6950 graphics card, and to see how the performance would be throttled with the GDDR cut, we benchmarked both versions with the latest Catalyst 11.1 driver. Does the 1GB card and its $20 savings prove too hard to ignore, or should the 2GB still be the one to scoop up?

Techgage is reviewing the 1GB edition, experence tells us that more video memory means better performance at higher resolutions and is likely to hold true.
