5870 to 6870

[nWovance]

Is there actually any point in this at all, i know of the re-branding crap ATI have brought out to confuse the general public,
but i think you could only consider an (upgrade) if you can call it that, of this nature by implementing crossfire surely. As we know 6870s do this extremely well,
and with the price drop, could it be a solution over up and coming 6970.

5870 to 6870 not really.

5870 is better than 6870

If 6870 Xfire scale so well i wounder if the 6970 will ?
I have 4870 Xfire and in general been good but feel i would like one good card and then in say one year later buy another of the same card for Xfire

I have never had a Nividia card "no fanboi" but would love to know how the GTX580 plays My motherboard is Xfire only so i think i will save up and purchase the 6970 when it comes out "Fingers crossed"

6870s scale better then any collection of cards i've ever seen, this is why i sorta asked, it's only worth upgrading from my 5870 to a 6870 if im crossfiring.
5870 has more raw power, it is better in most titles, also in synthetic situation's the raw power shows. 1 v 1 in 90% of games 5870 wins, but put two 6870s in the mix and it begins to show up a pair of 5870s. Now considering 6870s are a lot cheaper, pound for pound, this could be the 5770 bargain bucket we all enjoyed.

I was gonna go 6870 crossfire but they do pretty poorly in some titles, plus it would be better just to wait for the 69ers to launch, just to see what they're like and how pricing is.

Do not really see the sense in going for a 6870 Crossfire option if you can hang around and wait for the 6900 series release.
