@GoodDay2YouSir y u no read news about kepler and amd 7000er series? i knew they will come soon that's why I've waited about 4 or 5 months before i wanted to upgrade my computer.
@AviatorF16Falcon the hd 7970 will get better as time goes by with driver updates. Its also less noisy, runs cooler, less power consumption as well as not having any issue with micro stuttering that dual GPU cards have. Its also cheaper. he HD 6990 will have slightly better performance overall with higher average FPS. I would go for the HD 7970 since it has more advantages. T
i think i will keep my hd6870's cause i can support up to 8 monitors at the same time, and why did amd f**k up their overdrive, i miss the dragon logo
@Nightmare1066 Not possible. Two hardly beats a GTX 580. Even if they could the HD 7970 overclocks like a beast. The Sapphire Atomic HD 7970 will sport factory overclocks of 1330MHz which (in theory) makes it faster than two HD 6970's with perfect scaling. Proof? (2048sp x 1330MHz)/(1536sp x 880MHz) is equal to 2.01515 recurring. I stand corrected if I am wrong. But GCN should also bring extra improvements, even if they are minimal in gaming.
@KarateKid430 You can OC both of 6870's too, also 7970 doesn't have an entire 4 Teraflops, but then again neither do 2x 6870's so I think they 're even. Due to latency issues with between the 2 gpus in crossfire / SLI, 2x GPUs can never achieve a full 200% performance and it's usually about 180% performance max peak. They should be equal if so.
and for people asking for the price, its seen to be at 549.99 USD on its initial release, prolly would go down once the rest of 79** and 78** is released.
I am gonna wait for you guys to release a Flex edition of this card if this 7970 still requires active display adapter to do 3ple monitor set-up! hopefully you guys release it close to the initial release of the card.. looking forward to it =]
@TheSaggyKid yes you can crossfire it but i doubt you'll need to. what you are mixing up is the dual gpu 6990 which has two physical gpu's on an actual card. the 7970 is only one gpu on one card.
@evilcrow1001 think ive seen tests 7970 beats both of em. gtx 590 totaly not worth the money atl all prolly same with 6990 if they even keeps selling it now
I hate thumbs up comments but thumbs up if u watch this already with a HD 7970 :)

@mrzazzaable 25 to 30% faster, actually, especially at higher resolutions.. It only leads by 10% in one game that I'm aware of that game being BF3.

If you go with an SLI/CrossFire setup, then how much higher would the temperature, noise, and power draw it would be over a single card 7970 setup?

Not worth it IMHO, go sli/crossfire until this thing gets some competition, or goes down in price.
