can't decide on which video card

[Renegade_09]

So its boxing day in Canada and I'm having trouble deciding on a video card.

There's the XFX Radeon HD 6870 for $140 after MIR and the XFX 6950 for $190 after MIR.

Will my Seasonic S12II 520W be enough for these GPU?

What's the noise level and power consumptions on these two cards?

except for the psu, you left out all the other info that needs to be known here. you need to list ALL of your specs and the res you want to play at.

i5 2500k is what I have so far. Motherboard still looking and waiting for boxing day deal but I'm basically looking for something with a lot of SATA ports, USB 3.0, eSATA for around $150. I'm going to be playing Diablo 3 and Battlefield 3 on my LG 37" 1080 LCD TV. I'm only planning on using one video card and not planning to overclock at all.

Grab the 6870 . Best bang for the buck, and I promise you will not see a framerate difference. I get 60fps capped no matter what action in BF3 with 1080p 8xAA 16xAF high detail vsync on and game settings to Ultra tweaked.... motion blur is a killer you dont need that. gl, I dont know what you mean by box day but I guess that is a Canada thing... gl

Boxing day is like a Black Friday but for Canadians. Of course our deals aren't as good ad black Friday
