I'm still running a 5970, I know she is long in the tooth but I cant seem to find a reason to replace it till now.
There is a very good deal right now on a pair of Gigabyte GV-R787OC-2GD http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125418 but I have to move fast, they wont be there long. And they say a pair of 7870's with the 12.11 drivers are excellent. Is it worth the upgrade?
I'd sell my current 5970 and waterblock for 200-250?? so the upgrade will cost me about 100-150 so it's making hard not to, but if my FPS are only going to increase a few % then the money is better in the bank.
