Pros:
You can connect three DVI monitors without need of display port
Vapor Chamber-based cooling - quiet and good temperature

Cons:
Not sure about flashing to 6970 BIOS

Edit:
When I started to reply, your post wasn't there, nice

Ha ha, a nice coincidence. My understanding is that the 6950 can be overclocked to 6970 speeds. Can you or someone elaborate on "flashing to 6970 BIOS". Ta!

Ok...

Gigabyte or Powercolor. They have better cooling solutions allowing you to overclock higher.

Gigabyte over Powercolor because of the better warranty.

XFX has been a great company but they've had a lot of problems on these latest radeons and I wouldn't go near them for a radeon 69xx right now.


As far as flashing to a 6970... don't do it. The are already reports of peoples cards frying because the 6970 bios is sending the wrong voltage to the memory on the 6950s. What you can do is unlock the shaders on the 6950 to give you more performance.
