So I'm sure most of you know about the AMD retailPro website. My question is, is it worth upgrading from a radeon 5850 (my current card) to the 1 gb 6950. I would have gone for the 2gb one but I missed the deal. I've been reading up on the 1gb version and I dont want to cut myself short by going with such little video ram but I'm not sure exactly how much it will effect games in the future. Also I game on a 1920 by 1080 monitor and I love having 8x AA because anything less annoys me. So would it be worth upgrading to the 1gb card or should i wait? As a side note I would sell my 5850 to a friend for around 125 dollars.

you should go with the 2gb version if u like AA and the 6950 runs better directx 11 games. If u get one that can unlock the shaders to 6970 one u gonna have more performance. Here's a link so u can compare them.

Did you even read what I said? As I stated, I can not buy the 2gb one because I missed the deal that was on the retailpro website. My question is would it still be worth buying.
