I have a 4870 and I'm looking to upgrade. I see this weekend the 6950 2GB is going for $229. Would this be a good purchase now or will the price keep falling over the next month or two by a good amount? The games I like to play and or going to play are GW2, Diablo 3, Civ 5, and any games like that down the road.

What about the 7850 or the 6870? My resolution is 1680x1050 and don't plan on that changing soon. If I could get by with the 6870 for another 2 years that would be great. My PCIE is only 2.0 will that come in to play on which one I should choose? Or should I wait another 6 months? Any help would be great.

Its a good card and more then enough for your resolution even 1920x1200 it would be a good card, the 7850 is also really good, overclocks like mad and is well priced, consumes less power.

Either would be a good buy.

6950s a good card though its value at that price is pretty questionable nowadays.
