I am going to order a 6950 1gb video card sometime today, but I want to choose one that has a very good stock cooler on it. Can someone please recommend the best 6950 that comes with a really good cooler. I am buying it thru amazon to recieve it monday with free overnight shipping. I'm only interested in the 1GB video cards as I have heard the 2GB 6950 makes very little difference except for future proofing.

What type of performance increase can I expect from this card over my current 260 GTX 216 896MB?

Can I run Skyrim on full details at 1920x1080?
Can I run SWTOR on full details at 1920x1080?
Will this card handle Mass Effect 2 and 3 at 1920x1080 full details?

thanks

i wouldn't bother with a 1gig version, get a 2gig

you will eventually have problems with HD textures and AA...not enough memory for those pretty 4096x4096 textures...

You will get better AA performace with the 2gig version. it sucks up allot of memory..

Its deff worth the extra 30 bucks..

The sapphire toxics are very good...

I am crossfiring two Gigabyte 6950's 1G versions and i run skyrim on the highest resolution with no problems, also BF3 too. I tried one card only and it runs it great also.
