My unlocked HD6950 is awesome. I would definitely upgrade to this if I had money to throw around.

I tend to look at bang per buck if I'm honest. I bought my HD6950 for £189. Can see myself keeping this GPU for a while. The one before (9800GTX+) I had for 3 years :eek:

I have had my 5850 for a good couple of years now, I may upgrade to the 7950 at some point. I think I may way to see what nVidia bring to the table with their new series though.
