I think the best value AMD/ATI card you could go for right now, considering price, efficiency, and the performance it offers, is the AMD Radeon HD 6950 2gb. You get amazing performance for the price that you pay for it (around about £200). It would also offer you at least equal performance to 2x 1GB 6950's, whilst at the same time being cheaper. Also, don't waste your time with the 68xx series, since they are just rebranded 58xx's with just a couple of tweaks, hence their generous pricing.

Actually, the performance difference between 1GB 6950 and 2GB 6950 is negligent atm. It might change with time, but now they're equal. That still makes it a good card though.

I've been digging through a lot of test results lately so.

Yeah, I've been hearing that too. A 1 gig frame buffer seems to be the sweet spot, although, as you say, that's at the moment. Maybe Crysis 6 will require a terabyte frame buffer. Such things happen.
