Okay here goes....

I curently have a I7 920 setup with crossfired 5870's, Now i'm kinda thinking of either watercooling these, Or another option is to sell them and buy two 470 and watercool them in sli.

Am i mad ? :confused:

But thinking again should I just wait for the next refresh and leave my system as it is untill then (currently just my cpu is on water)

It just niggles me sometimes when games are released and there little problems with Ati like Batman's and Starcraft 2 AA settings, And i seem to have problems with getting the drivers to work well with a 5870 crossfire setup :(
 
Other than batman and starcraft, are there any games which you cannot play on your current setup which you would like to? Then Nvidia might be a good idea
Also, are the cards too noisy for you, or do they get too hot while running? if so, then watercooling might be the way to go
 
Heat is a issue, Mainly because of the posistion of the pci-express slots on the UD5

They sit very close together, And my current case does not support a dual-slotted card on the last pci-express slot.
