I have wanted to upgrade my 5850 for a while now, but I wanted to wait and see how the 6970 did. Now, having seen W1z's review, I am unsure of which card I should get, the 570 or 6970. So I have come to ask for your recommendations. Which would you get and why?
I was thinking of getting either:
1) SAPPHIRE 100311SR Radeon HD 6970 2GB 256-bit GDDR5...
2) EVGA 012-P3-1570-AR GeForce GTX 570 (Fermi) 1280MB...
If you know of any better deals, link 'em to me!
IF the 6970 was at RRP then i would say it. Int he same boat with a 5850. I am thinking of waiting until both the GTX6X0 and the HD79X0's to come out, and just oc the 5850 in after burner to around 900mhz on the clock and be done with it
