which 6850 brand should i go with then? theres to many and i know all brand has their own little mix to it.....
Well I'm happy with my XFX 6850. But most of them are pretty similar, it's only the cooler that really varies and it's not that hard to make a decent cooler.
Anyway, the 6850 is really only worth it if you buy used. If you're buying new, a Radeon HD 7770 would be a better investment.
