AMD CF scaling is great for HD6xxx but the issues you mentioned do exist.

Thanks, I read the review, but these issues almost werent mentioned. Are they fixable? What driver support they are talking about? Are there multiple drivers that should be installed and arent they the latest drivers on amd site?

You should wait for someone who's running 6 series CF atm, AFAIK scaling is great and microstuttering has been improved from the 5 series, well, it's not that much of a problem, you will be more concerned about getting the right drivers. Yes, the best performing drivers probably won't be the latest (however, latest drivers will have fixes for new games) and you also can't load more than one. There will be some graphical bugs while running CF or bad performance on launch day (rare nowadays) - this will eventually get fixed in future drivers.

Not much encouraging
Would you take GTX 570 or 6870 X2?

My configuration is following:
Phenom II 980 x4 4,0GHz / 4GB DDR3 1600MHz Kingston HyperX blu / M4N98TD EVO / Gainward GTX470 / Samsung 2TB / LCpower Veritas 920R / Acer P236H / Chieftec CTG-600 600W

Also, do you think my PSU would be enough for this beast?

Quick responses are highly appreciated, because I would be getting that card tomorrow.

Thanks in advance...

Like others have said the PSU would be to week since also you have a CPU OC, get a good 650W or more and you be fine.

CPU is not a bottleneck like others my think, just go look at gaming benchmarks and the 980 is right up there with all the others. The only games it will struggle at is maybe BF3/BC2 but thats about it.
