All online stores out of stock of HD7970

I personally would wait till next month when the 7950 comes out, and see where the 6950 ends up.

I can always do that Im waiting anyway

I was also thinking if i wait till march i get another bonus hahaha and put that with this one

Some games have problems with dual cards...tri cards seem to scale better for some reason

Ivan i think my board can quadfire lol take a look Newegg.com - MSI 990FXA-GD80 AM3+ AMD 990FX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard

For some reason at least in several builds by Maximum PC the editors seem to prefer tri fire systems.....Yes it's a four slot 16x board, but to do that you will need a major PSU upgrade:)...

Have you considered just getting more of the same cards you already have?

Amazing how crazy people go for the newest cards, a lot of people are reviewing them with positive results of performance, but noise of the other hand. . .

Well i did i dont want crossfire due to added heat

Pwn as far as the new craz not really was planning on the upgrade along with the cpu when i orginally built the bulldozer rig

the sad thing is the chip was a bust so i am better off with the 965 be i have and just upgrade my card the 7000 series seems nice but im thinking of just going with a 6970 i dont see them being available in the near future due to them going nuts over it

Im sure i will see a price drop in the card im looking at i did look at a 6950 still probally go with a little better

also my 6870 can go in the other rig i have for gaming and my dad can use the 5770 for better video encoding and feeds for a hd tv

Do you guys know what kind of performace i would get with crossfire hd6870

if it is comparable to the other single cards might go for it

ASUS Radeon HD 6870 CrossFire Review - Page 1/25 | techPowerUp

So what your telling me crossfire might be the better option right ?

About heat issue's hmmmm what do you think ? should i also get a different 6870 from the one i have or get the identical one ?

I think im ready to do a drive by if it makes sense give me some more opinions im excited

With that case and fans heat shouldn't really be much of a issue:)

I am like 99.999% sure the brand doesn't matter that much.....

It's a option of course, but a lot depends on the games you play and if the can scale to 2 or more gpu's
