6870 or 470

http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18207496

have a read through my old thread, i know its entitled sli vs crossfire, though i did end up going with the 6870 for a few reasons

seemingly better crossfire scaling in these new cards (better than a 470 sli in most benchmarks)
lower power consumption by a noticeable amount
runs cooler
runs quieter (on stock cooling)

and its a new card, rather than the 470(eol)

also, as a side note, i realise most other peoples experience wont be the same, but i had to RMA 2 MSI 470 cards prior to my 6870 purchase.
