    What resolution are you at? The other option of course is sell the 6950 and buy a 7950 so you don't run into any microstutter etc.

    I think the 7950 in the title is a typo...

    I think the 6950 is the typo; he sold me his a few months ago. Which I'm very happy with I might add.

    What res are you gaming at? A single 7950 should be very capable at 1080p.

    The 6950 is the type, check his sig.

    Another 7950 won't really help unless you are gaming at 1440/1600p

    :duh: It was clearly too early for my brain to engage :lol: I would definitely agree with everyone else, you'd only need 2 7950s for the epeen.

    You should be able to do some mean OC'ing with that, hopefully you get a good chip.

    IMHO, 2 7950's with a 2400 is a bit silly. It'd not be a very rounded system at all. Like putting Formula 1 wheels on a Vauxhall Vectra.
