First off, I posted earlier in the thread about a 'dxgi error device removed' error, fixed.
If you get it similar to my problem-go back and find my exact problem before you try this- delete your profile and create a new one and problem solved.
My 7950 @ 1100/1500 does not go above 55.c Max settings at 1440p. The Accelero is just superb...
+1,
My 7950 is purring along nice and cool on one of those coolers on max voltage.
is anyone running SLI?
I was about to buy a copy but read there's SLI / Crossfire problems and poor utilisation, has it been fixed yet?
The beta5's sorted performance on CrossFire, before that one, performance was a train wreck, Nvidia will get it sorted pronto I imagine.
Hmm I'm trying to work out if I should go cross fire with a second 6970 or wait. I refuse to buy a 7970 as it was a poor performance upgrade from the previous generation.
It seems MM is selling them for about £100 on average, anyone got advice?
I was in the same boat as you and refused to budge until the 70 hit £300 with the never settle bundle.
6970 CrossFire@1GHz up until June/July when I made the change was slightly faster@1080p over a 1200MHz 70.
As C3 is more demanding and the 69 series is a series down on the 79's, driver support will be supported less.
Sell your 6970 for £100, and get a 7950 and clock it, it will perform better than 6970 CrossFire imho, and performance isn't noticeable in game
@1080p.
The only way I would recommend a 7970 over the 50(I use both) is if you are heavy into BM's.
If you can and you decide to go for it, be quick as all the gpu's are shooting up in price due to the low value of the £ v's $.
If funds allow, buy the 7950 then put up the 6970 for sale.
