Am wondering if its worth updating to a 6950 Dirt 3 edition from a 5770? Stopped overclocking years ago so everything is stock. Is it worth the money just for the eye candy when playing BF3? I can run the settings on Medium without too much trouble. Processor is a Phenom II 555 black edition with 4 gigs RAM.
 
my dirt3 edition 6950 was able to easily unlock to 6970 bios via a little switch on the card itself.. So it's certainly more than worth it if you can get unlocked too. running bf3 at ultra.
 
If you can run all the current releases with visuals that you are content with, then I would hold off on the 6950 and wait for the 7000 series that are apparently coming out Q1 2012.
 
Should wait for 7xxx and 6xx cards from AMD and nvidia like i am.

If anything spend $50 on a 2nd hand 5770 and Xfire them.
