Hey guys,
I have the possibility of selling my HD 6870 and buy a second hand 2GB HD 6970 for cheaper than a brand new HD 7850..
My dilemma is: is it worth getting a last-gen card that is more powerful, or a brand new, less powerful GPU.
I'm more inclined towards the HD 6970, because in spite of being older, it's quite faster than my HD 6870 and also faster than the HD 7850.
Is it a wise move?
