1 GB Radeon HD 6950 to Cost US $279

oh sarcasm? It was very clear LOL

Since 6870 Turbos are coming out, you think used 6870 will cost less than 200$ anytime soon?

I don't know why you tech got the news wrong T_T

Because X-bit got it wrong. I would believe X-bit on face-value if it said that aliens abducted Intel's brightest scientists, and make a news post about it.

I don't see that $20 or $30 is that big a deal really.

I'm glad I got one with 2GB.

Yea the 2GB seems like a better deal than the 1GB. You shuldn't be buying a 6950/6970 if you aren't gaming at at least 1920x1080, and I know some games can take up 1200mb+ of Vram. Sure it isn't going to make much of a difference on most games, but it may make a little, and it will help futureproofing. Not to mention, resell value will be better
