Ok,the 6970's are here and they look good.........so might it be worth getting 2 of these babies to replace my 5970 ?

I've had a look at the review and in some instances 1 x 6970 beats my 5970 ?

So 2 x 6970 in crossfire shoud be good !

Even though I could wait for 6990 to arrive,the bettings are that this will we clocked slighly lower at 6950 clock speeds ?

Never has 2 card crossfire setup before,and am a little worried about heat power consumption.

Just sold my 5970 3 weeks ago. Also use a 250gts for physx. One thing I liked about the 5970 is that with it being a long card my 250gts was right below it with about a 1/2 inch separating the two cards the 5970 still was cool. This is because the 250 gts is only a 8-8.5 inch card and the entire fan of the 5970 was exposed to get air. When you xfire with the same two cards: unless you have extra room between the pcie slots the top card gets warm and noisy. Just my thought. I was able to clock my 5970 very well also. I am waiting to see what the 6990 brings to the table.
