AMD Radeon HD 6970 - Benchmark Results You can also compate graphics and processors here.

There's comparassion between AMD Radeon HD 6970 & NVIDIA GeForce GT640 (NVIDIA GeForce GT630 isn't in option).

I don't know a lot about AMD graphics cards, because I care only about NVIDIA, so I can't help more.

But I would recommend NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660TI or NVIDIA GeForce GTX670, if you got that much money.

What trouble? It doesn't mean NVIDIA is bad. You just had a bad luck. I have NVIDIA GeForce 8600GT in my older computer from 2006, and it's still working.

If you can spare the money I would recommend getting the xfx 7970 3gb I got the 1050 base clock but if you're interested in radeons then its a great card if im not mistaken there about the same or close to a GTX 670 if not the 7000 series is still good too

It just really depends on what types of games you want to play and how well of a FPS you want because the higher you go generally the better your going to get for newer games and such like me it was a lot but i paid about 400 for my radeon hd 7970 3gb 1050 base clocks but I need the power for recording, streaming game play and just all arous playing new games. Also if your trying to save money for a card like the 7850 go on newegg if you havent already there having christmas sales on certain cards thats how i got mine!

and if newegg will deliver to australia i would say abandon the idea of getting a 6 series altogether because it looks like you arent saving any money. i'd get the 7850, the 78 series is essentially the same as the 69 series except that it is more power efficient and slightly cheaper. also i've never heard of that "vtx3d" brand before so who knows what kind of customer service hoops theyll make you jump through if you get a dud. my suggestion is this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127663 msi has good customer service and this card comes with an excellent cooling system, xfx asus gigabyte and sapphire also review pretty high on reliability. pcgamer.com says the 7850 is the best value you can possibly get this generation so i'd trust them because theyre smart. =)

Look for a 7870. It costs about 220-250$, performs better than the 6970 and uses less power.

If you can still find one that isn't out of stock on Newegg you can get a 7870 Ghz Edition for $209, little cheaper and saves money so yeah :)

First of all you have to be sure that there isn't any bottleneck like CPU and ram, second wath out for your PSU and its power output (the 6970 need much more energy than the 630).
