I wish I had the money to upgrade to it. $500 is way too much for me right now.

i'll stick with my two 6950s thanks. they're still selling for almost the same price i paid a year later. :D

no way would I upgrade...but I might get a second 6970...I have never had dual GPU's

Why do you guys buy ATI over nVidia?

[Snizz]

i have always been an ATI guy...they fell behind for a few years but now have come back with great cards for a somewhat cheaper price...personal preference

[KingGeo]

power for price is better most of the time.

i always used to be a NV fan but after the 48xx series came out and ATI showed they learned to make driver correctly it didnt make sense to pay the NV price premium. plus a small part of me still likes to pretend that ATI is still a Canadian company :)
the only reason now i would buy nVidia now is if i wanted to get into 3D...

at the time i bought mine it was performance. especially price to performance ratio. most nvidia is overpriced imo.

I love the specs on that card. But, I'm an Nvidia fan and wouldnt go ATI. That all stems from issues i had with ATI cards in my Dell computers back in the day. Personally, I wouldn't bad mouth ATI or AMD as they are just as good or if not better when compared to similar Nvidia or Intel products. It's just a matter of preference.

personally i would blame that on dell not ATI :)

Personally I always buy nVidia, yea it's usually about 20%-ish more expensive but you get what you pay for. I have had ATI's in the past and always had endless driver problems and they don't last as long. I've always been a person that would go for quality over quantity, the way I see it, your spending a bunch of money on a new PC anyway, might as well pay extra for quality parts.

I do agree that now days ATI and nV are about the same though and as long as the card is ASUS or MSI who cares.
