If you compare the 6950 2gb against a 5870 1gb.
I hope that it would be better.
The difference isn't huge, but the 6950 edges out the 5870. I looked through all the games in that review and very rarely did the 5870 tie the 6950, and it only beat it by fractions of a frame a handful of times. The 6950 was also a little more energy efficient, drawing on average 10w less power. They are about equal, but the 6950 is a slightly better card.
Anyhow IMO he was trolling
In other news, for a few seconds I actually thought a new 5870 was just released which of course made no sense at all.
