5970 to 6970CF?

[Born_2_Kill_83]

Thinking of selling my 5970 and upgrading to CF6970's, will my i7 920@4GHZ cause a bottleneck on this setup?
I game at 1920*1200

not worth it tbh seeing as you have a 5970 already , wait for the 7*** series

You would only get rid of vram issues, such like being unable to max out Shogun 2, GTA4 etc. As of Q4 2011 I would wait for the 28nm cards. The flagships may come in Q1 2012.

In your case I'd hang on to it and wait for the next range of high end gpu's.

Do what i did till next Gen, stick another 5870 with it just a fast as any cf, just the vram issue.

Went from (Unigine Heaven) 57.5, 1449 to 85.2, 2177 with tri-fire all stock
(6970 Xfire) - 2163
Not bad for £130, i play at 2560x1440 most games 60fps just under max setting, at your res np. No bottle neck same setup. Had my 5870 from OC clearance lines was cheaper than silly money some going for on Ebay.

Interesting upgrade, might just go for this instead, whats the vram issue?
Im struggling to find a 5870 for £130 also ?
