The 6970 will probably clock to just over stock 580 performance with vram not being much of an issue @1080p.

The 580 I imagine should get you about an extra ~15% performance when both oc'ed to the max.

However, both will trail far behind your current 'Ati Geforce 470 SLI' setup, so I would keep what I had.

Even if you were getting 2 of them, they both wont be that much faster at all.

The 580 second hand is a lot more. The 6970 can be had for abit cheaper. I plan i adding another and possibly a third down the line.

their isnt a huge difference in fps in that comparison.

Seems the 580 does better at higher res and seems to have a better minimum fps.
