Hi Guys,

I currently have a HIS 6970 and thinking of upgrading, mate at work offered me £120 for it so its not a bad deal and was thinking of getting this:

However, my current card and set up consists of 3xBenq and my HDTV.

So Im using the following:

DVI-DVI
DP-DP/DVI converter - DVI
DVI- DVI

And finally with the TV I'm using the HDMI.

I see this card linked above only has one DVI (pain) Can I use more than one DP-DVI adaptor?

If so will the following be okay?

Sorry for all the questions, I don't earn millions so I like my upgrades to run smoothly!

Also when is the 8 series replacement for the 7970 (8970?) expected? With the PS4 having 8GB of GDDR5 RAM is something like this expected in the next gen of cards. I would prefer this to perform well when the new consoles come out.

Yes but at least one has to be active.

And don't worry about 8-gen cards. You'll be waiting forever. Be careful with just one 7970 though. Might not have the power

Thanks for the advice.

With regards to might not have the power, what do you mean?

Alright cheers, yeah lots of games run fine on the 6970.

Great, I'll look to order that card then. Just wish I could get another 7970 with the same connections.
