HAha! Anyway, a pair of GTX 570 in SLI is close in performance and cheaper...
And anyway , $700.00 is too much money !

Salute !

Its not more expencive, it costs exactly the same. At least where i live.


Anyway, im not gonna buy either of them so its a moot point for me.

S!

So I just slap in another 6970HD I have and good to go The reviews claimed 6970HD to be hot and noisy as well, but I have NONE of those problems. I play World Of Tanks for a day and temps are max. 63'C and fan speed around 30-35%. Not really hot to me In any game I have played the temps have never gone above 70'C for me. As said, use a GOOD and VENTILATED case that is placed so that airflow is not blocked.

Anyways..waiting more for Bulldozer, some preliminary tests have shown great performance
