Hey guys, I currently have a 6950 1gb [not unlockable] and I also have a Gtx 480 card that I received from a friend. I want to keep one card and sell the one I dont keep, my question is which card overall is better. Right now Im leaning towards the 480 since from what I have seen its overall a faster card, and it has more memory on it [1536MB].
The 6950 hasn't really impressed me much performance wise, its fast but I was expecting more than just a straight up 2x speed increased from a single 4850 considering how long ago that card came out.
Anyways, between the two, any suggestions on which to keep. My main concern with the 480 is heat. Is it really that much hotter than a 6950 and are there any other drawbacks to it compared to the 6900 series ? Does it lack some DX11 features etc.
