So my 6950 uses nearly 200 watts of power, uses two 6-pin pcie power cables, and has a clock speed of 830mhz.
Now, a $60 Radeon R7 250 uses just barely 60 watts, runs just off the power of the PCIE slot, and has a clock speed of 1.05gHz.
So, by that logic, since the cheap R7 has a higher clock speed than my "expensive" 6950, if I swapped my 6950 for an R7, I'd get better performance? Right?
