Which of the two (300$ Budget)

[meagainstyou]

Hey I was wondering whether I should get this 580 http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=7170064&CatId=3669 or get a 6950 and hope to unlock it to a 6970 http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=708649&CatId=7005

Thanks in advance.

Also will somebody pls tell me what the difference is between these 2 video cards to increase the price by sooooo much.

Get the 570, the 6970 is on par with it and it's unlikely that the 6950 will unlock to the 6970. Also the 560 and 550 are two different cards.

The 570 is a better deal really.

I have to agree the 570 is the best bang for the buck. It is easy to OC it and it will handle just about anything you can through at it. Good luck
