Antilles is the HD 6990 (dual GPU).
Cayman is the HD 6950/6970 (single GPU).

Thing is 6990 is codenamed Antilles, so I'm not sure exactly if this affects 6950

Edit: Damn, got rushed to the answer :)

6950/6970 = Cayman

6990 = Antilles

The 6990 is two(2) 6970s on the one(1) pcb(card).

6990 is best.

read second page of comments from newegg,
seems like they are starting to put Antilles in some 6950's....although im pretty sure the manufacturer somehow disabled the "full Antilles power" ...but none the less it seems to be Antilles

there is nothing to disable - Antiles would require 2 gpu cores and I doubt they would put expensive dual gpu card on high mid range card, really. Maybe they did something with the bios to spoof bios flashing, but I bet that this is not antiles powering up this card.
