S!
AMD, at least 7900-series, do not have the stripes. I use the 12.4 drivers(with OpenCL 1.2). Works a treat.

I feel the 6800 series was a stop gap card.The 6870 was not near as good as the old workhorse 5870.
The 6900 series is better but has the blue line problem.From the pictures I have seen it is not a show stopper. I thought they had fixed the problem with one of the patches and then it reappeared with another patch.So I am not sure it is a driver problem.With all the people filling out forms to Amd I think they are at least aware of the problem even if our niche is too small to worry about. Maybe the 7800 series or the expensive 7900 series. At the moment the more video memory the better.That may change when the new patch arrives.Nvidia has a 4 gig GTX 680 coming. http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/131 Last edited by Troll2k; 03-28-2012 at 03:17 PM.

Cool, was looking at HD6950 but just far too expensive for me.. are the prices likely to change soon?
Was also looking at getting a nice meaty rig, AMD Bulldozer 4.20GHz Quad Core System.. wheres the best place to get beafy rigs online in the UK? I was looking at Overclockers

I usually dont give advices about hardware, some people tend to blame you for his mistakes, but buy a buldozer to play games is just wrong, and if they are simulators is even worse.
Also if you want a advice about get graphics card for a game you should say at what resolution you will play with it. - Graphics card : Forget get the 6xxx series, as someone said there drivers problems (blue lines) and we dont know if they will be fixed. Get something with 2-3GB, nVidia or ATI, in simulators you will have handle with big textures and a lot of objects, this is not a crappy console port. If you are not over more of a "HD" resolution the HD7950 3Gb is a good choice, you can find a reference model for around 350€, enough to maxed out CLoD. - CPU : Forget Bulldozer, its slow in single thread performance hence slow in games !! So ... looking at Intel the 2500k is a very nice option, with nice overclock potential. But the new Ivy bridges are just around the corner, I think in April, so my advice is wait a bit, they will be faster, with better overclock and more energy efficient at the same price of what is now in the market.

These should help you decide:

I wouldn't recommended Bulldozer for gaming, and I'm a AMD fan.  The Intel 2500k is probably the best value for your money gaming CPU right now. Last edited by BaronBonBaron; 03-28-2012 at 05:03 PM.
