I have a question some of you guys more up to date on the current video cards might be able to help me with. I currently have 2 6950's and I think one of my cards is starting to fail . Is there a single card solution where I could get better performance than from my setup? I play at 2560x1600 at the moment. I thought about just getting another 6950 but I kinda want to get away from a 2 card setup for a while.

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

An R9 290 for ~$200 used, or ~$250-300 retail would be a nice upgrade, especially with the ram capacity for the resolution you play at. I assume your 6950s are 2GB models?
You could also go Nvidia and try out a GTX970, which is a comparable gaming experience but a little bit more expensive.

Yep, a 290 or 970 with 4GB ram will do you well @ 2560x1600. Your gameplay experience would be at a whole different (better) level.
I personally would spring for the 290 cause you can get them for quite a bit cheaper than the 970.
