![]() In this review we will be looking at the Sapphire Radeon HD 6950. Regardless of the actual reason the anticipated next gen high-end Radeon card has been released and is available in 2 versions, Radeon HD 6970 and Radeon HD 6950. Others take a more sinister stance and claim AMD was worried about the new chip architecture and wanted something solid in the market, just in case the next card they released didn't work out. This makes sense, considering the current nVidia lineup. So why do this? Some say the change was to expand the product line and offer more high-end card options. So while the HD 5870 was the previous generation "bad-boy" the new HD 6870 was nothing more than a docile pony designed to give the nVidia GTX 460 some company. AMD decided to mix things up a bit when they released the HD6000 series, first by releasing the midrange cards before the high-end, and next by using previous high end naming schemes to describe them.
