What are the advantages of this over an HD6950? Easier hookup of more than two displayport monitors?

Not to thread crap or anything (honestly just curious), but is there a benefit of this card over the 6850 (which can be unlocked to the 6870) for about the same price?

I think you mean 6950...which is what I asked. I'm pretty sure it's the six displayport connections that the card offers.

Yes, I meant 6950 and that would explain the differences. Thanks!
