    Yup...that's exactly what I'm running right now.

    6950 Reference Cooling Question

    FWIW, I've got a Powercolor 6950 2GB (which I believe is a reference design) with a slight overclock (880/1325), shaders unlocked, and power at +20% in CCC and it doesn't exceed 75 degrees while playing BF3 or Crysis 2 completely maxed out at 1680. Stock fan profiles and only 1 x 120mm case...

    So I just bought a GTX 560Ti...

    If you're comfortable with overclocking, get a 2GB 6950 and save your money. It will overclock to ~6970 speeds + more depending on your card and how much you're willing to push it. Otherwise, the 570 is a good card.

    Spend the extra money. If you're serious about gaming at that resolution, get the best you can afford. I'm thinking you'll be disappointed with that 560ti for those games + that resolution.

    Battlefield 3 official performence/fps thread

    I'd generally say you should be good to go with a 6970 for 16x10...but it obviously depends on the rest of your specs. For a little perspective, I'm running @ 1680x1050 at max settings and getting consistently smooth gameplay with my HD 6950 (shaders unlocked and OC'ed to ~6970 clocks) and a...

    Battlefield 3 performance thread

    The more FPS the better...at a consistent 30, BF3 feels choppy to me. I like to keep it hovering around the 50's-60's for the smoothest possible gameplay.

    Yeah, I've gotten them a few times. A little annoying, but they go away after a short while. HD 6950 with the 11.10 v3 drivers.

    Yup, solo-ing is definitely possible in the BF3 choppers. If I can't find a gunner, I'll go up and take on jets with my heat-seekers on Caspian, for example. It's fun seeing the pilots' reactions when they realize they've been taken out by a measly attack helo. Seat-switching and gunning down...

    BF3 smacks down COD

    Exactly. Why even post, DeathReborn? May as well gtfo and go back to your dumb COD. BF3 is Battlefield through-and-through, rest assured. There's a few smaller maps this time around with some tighter infantry combat and less focus on vehicles, but I say again: this is definitely Battlefield.

    Battlefield 3

    I've been playing all day and haven't run in to any lag except on a couple servers from halfway around the world that I joined by accident. Game is epic and runs incredibly well. Seine Crossing just might be one of my new favourite Battlefield maps of all time.
