I am building a gaming pc and I am struggling to choose between these 2 cards. I will be running eyefinity with 3 hd monitors. I will be playing just battlefield 3 and fsx. Is there a major difference in FPS?
Thanks

The HD6950 is faster than the HD6870 by ave of 8 FPS on 1920 x 1200 on ultra:

The 6950 is about 20% faster in BF3. But neither of those cards are enough to drive 3 HD monitors, except maybe at medium settings... On high settings, a single 6950 only gets about 60fps on a single 1920x1080 screen.

I agree.... be sure to get a 2GB version of the 6950, you need the extra VRAM for multiple displays.
How clear with the frames do you want to see them. the maximum frame rate is 120fps. Unless I am wrong, it's 240. Based on the hertz of the monitor. How fast your monitors can display the colors depends on the frame rate you will get. Did you ever notice the TV's that have 120 and 240Hz ratings? That's what I mean. My laptop monitor runs at 60Hz, no less, no more. If anything, look into the details of the cards online. Unless I am wrong all the way.
properly i didnt look at ur hyperlinks yet I actual have a catalog from tigerdirect and you gets a amd quad center for $a hundred thirty greenbacks -3.8 ghz or get a amd six center for $one hundred eighty 3.9 ghz the two are max speedier btw
First and foremost make sure those are the 2GB models. 3monitors will drain the vram quickly. Secondly and to answer your question you can take a look at a side by side comparison http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/290?vs=331 .
