DM, I think there is way too much computing power in that setup for you. I mean, all you do is type a few words......

No, it should come to someone like me who actually uses his computer!!

I wouldn't argue about that! I wouldn't mind either of them to be fair. 8)

Hi

Actually two 6970s in crossfire mode would probably slightly exceed the outp[ut of a single 6990. I have the 6970 also and it is a mean card. I have thought about crossfiring it myself. Maybe one day. 8)
