Well the 6950 is better than the 6870, there is no doubt about that. However, it's not $79 better from a pure price/performance perspective. Having said that, the 6950 you linked to is a 2GB variant, which means you have a very good chance of unlocking it to a 6970 card. If you're successful unlocking the card, then the 6950 is the much better buy, in my opinion.
