I'm curious because I can save ~$100 by downgrading my case, PSU, and MoBo (don't want to) to buy a 570/6970 (2GB) but I know that certain 6950s (2GB) can be unlocked to run 6970 shaders to give similar performance. I just don't know which ones exactly or if I need to spend the extra 30-50 on an unlockable pre-overclocked 6950 (like the MSI Twin Frozr III that I know can be unlocked or the HIS IceQ Turbo X that I don't ). Which, at that point shouldn't I just suck it up, buy cheaper parts and get a non-reference/faster 6970 or 570? This is my first build btw.
What do I doooo??
Appreciate any help.
