Purchased two of these cards roughly a month apart to run crossfire. They run as a single unit (not crossfire) exceptionally well and are easily overclocked via Catalyst. I was able to unlock the shaders on one of the cards to see what types of performance I could get out of it and I was quite pleasantly surprised. In terms of bang for the buck... this card provided what I think is the best performance for money ratio.
I love my 6950 because of the performance and the small cost that I paid for it. I have unlocked it to a 6970 which is another plus of this card. It runs battlefield on High with ultra textures and ultra terrain, I get around 50 too 70 fps.
Not sure if these card is unlockable to 6970 (haven't tried) however it runs BF3 on ultra uavg 40-50fps. Very quiet and temps are low. Going to buy another to crossfire in the future.

It's a graphics card, and it lets you play games at decent settings - not much more to say. A little nitpicking from me would be that Powercolor probably used a cooling solution from a more powerful card as I can see that there is empty space for two more heatpipes. It runs cool enough as-is, but that extra space could have been utilized.

Good card for the price. Runs my games on maxed. Bf3 40-60 fps ultra settings. I'm really happy with this card. I really liked the red pcb even if some people saying that red pcb is kinda lame for them but for me it's perfect for my rig, matched with my red cathodes, red fans and mobo with black pcb. Gonna buy again if Im going t have extra money. Im just a student lol.

This is a great card! Plays Skyrim at nearly max settings with little or no lag at all. It's a great value for an entry level 6900 series card.

You get what you pay for. This 6950 is cheaper than many other models (ie. Sapphire Toxic, MSI Lightning), but the down side is that it has a really cheap cooler. The heatsink only uses 2 heat pipes but it was designed to be used with 4. The two fans on the card have very wide blade which is efficient for pumping air but very noisy.
