Hello, quick question been having over heating problems with gpu 2 on my xfire (6950 clocked to 6970 speeds) setup, and the company i bought from have offered me either 7970 / 6990 / gtx 590 in exchange, which should i take? im an ATI fan boy so the gtx 590 isnt really an option.

any input would be great!
 
Sorry i should have been more clear, its they have my two 6950's back and i have one of them options, also i can have the 6990 or gtx 590 on friday but i have to wait 3 weeks for the 7970.

do you still get the same xfire problems with one 6990? i hoped that with both gpu's being on one pcb it would get rid of the problems or at least cut them down?
 
Thats what i thought Surveyor ( the 7970 oc would be near 6990) but does the fact the two gpu's are on one pcb not help at all rather than using a ribbon connection?
 
I suppose i could get it and then see if some one fancys a nice swop for a 7970 card!? :D

if i find it to noisey or hot that is.
 
Hurm think i might call them and tell them ill wait for the 7970 if it will deffo only be 3weeks and no more than that.
