I think the only one you could edit was 3d mark 11 solar which incidentally I don't think you have run with the new card yet mate?
Hey guys, I think i've got these 3 pushed as far as I can. I actually have a question. I'm very seriously considering getting 2x gigabyte windforce gtx 970 G1's in SLI and retiring/selling my 7950's. Would you just go the 980 route or the 2x 970? Because I'm thinking that two 970's will destroy anything and everything in it's path, especially considering that almost every new game comes sli/crossfire optimized and if it isn't, a 970 is more than capable of getting 60 fps in just about anything. It's only going to cost a bit over 700 for the pair, vs 550ish for the 980 and if I'm already spending that much money, another 150 isn't going to kill me. I have a very good feeling I'll be going to the top of the sli/crossfire list when I do, that is unless someone get's a second 980 anytime soon. Oh and another big consideration with me is that I have a 144hz monitor and having high framerates really helps the fluidity much more than if it's just 60. Thoughts?
oh and btw..

I used to worry about your heat point until I got my new case. I have massive airflow in my case thanks to these wonderful 200mm fans. They are capable of keeping the ambient temp in my case at around 25-30C with 3 overclocked non-reference 7950's in it, two of which are sapphire vapor-xs and that heatsink/fan loves to dump every ounce of heat possible into the case. So this concern is now a non-issue.
