The thing is that all the 6950 is a 6970 with locked shaders, you can flash the bios to a 6970s bios.
Then you have a 6970 for the price of a 6950

IE 9 Goes Live.
The awaited new Internet explorer is now live,
(IE9s new privacy settings may be better than the rest Microsoft mentions, click the image to download Internet explorer 9)
So I will have a look at it and share my views on it, and to see if it is worth upgrading / changing to it.
Thanks,
Update on the new Nvidia Graphics cards soon..

The New Intel Refresh of i7 and i5 processors
As people may well know for a while now, on the 9th of January the NDA was lifted for e-commerce websites to start listing and selling the new refresh of Intel processors.
What does this mean for people looking to build a new computer, it means that if your looking to buy a i7 or i5 processor you should check these out instead.
This next picture shows benchmarks of the Intel i7 950 vs the new Intel i7 2600k ( the 2600k in Black )
As you can see the performance of these chips even at stock are pretty good for gaming.
Overclocking ?
It is said that with the new refresh Intel recommend you do not go over 1.35-1.38v Cpu voltage as this could cause long term damage - the ram is also kept under 1.5v voltage as well
With the voltage mentioned you can keep a 4.6Ghz 24/7 on these chips with no issues at all, with some people exceeding this voltage and going for an astonishing 5.735GHZ!
Post into the comments anything else you may want to ask.
