650ti is a lot more stable and can run physx pretty well. On the other hand you can get the 6950 which will get higher frame rates, it is unstable, loud and the driver support is quite dodgey.

Radeon HD 6950 2gb or Gtx 650ti boost 2gb.for gaming at 1366*768p at max settings.

650 Ti BOOST, if you wanted to compare the normal 650 the 6950 would be the way to go, people continuously mistakes the two.

I am getting a powercolour version the after market cooler one which seems much quite than the stock one. And going to play bf4.so 6950 is the way to go for me guys?. Btw it is a bit cheaper than 650tiboost.

I already stated that the 650 Ti Boost is better than the 6950 and if you later decided to SLI the 650 Ti Boost then you'll have the performance of a 670. The 650 Ti Boost has amazing SLI scaling. 

 

The 650 Ti Boost is basically more around the performance of a 660 than a 650 Ti.

6950 can be unlocked to 6970 which was the top tier card of its time. So still you'll suggest 650tibost.

Yes.

and since you mentioned overclocking, you can also OC the 650 Ti Boost so yeah.

 

also keep in mind the 6XXX drivers are seriously out of date, as far as I know the newer drivers don't support those old cards.

 

I don't really care what you get in the end, I'm just giving some solid advice since most of these guys don't even know the difference between the 650 Ti and the Boost and therefore instantly jumped to the conclusion that the 6950 is better, even unlocked it struggles to keep up with the stock settings.
