lower in benchmarks but IMO it feels much better in gaming, considering the stutters
i was getting before are gone

This really came out of nowhere, but if anyone is thinking of getting one, i have to say,
its worth it.
Awesome Man WTG on the purchase I feel it necessary to invite you to the XFX 6870 Club..... We should get jackets! LOL



Even when you get two.... I will tell you that the microstutter is really not all that bad with these cards and Current 10.10e Drivers.

How To: Use a Dedicated PhysX Card

If you can get your hand on the 257.15 beta drivers for nivdia that will bypass the steps in the thread as it allows ati cards and nv cards to run in sync.

Edit - This should be them.
