I use a crossfire system with 2x, XFX 6970's (one of which I just sold because of the compatibility issues and driver support)
So I am left with one 6970, and while the performance is nice, I was looking at the Asus Matrix GTX 580, as I do believe a single card solution is where it's at if you don't need to push anything above 60 fps (60Hz monitor) (also I love the Republic of Gamers hardware)
So I was wondering if it's worth it. I use 8GB 1333Mhz, Asus Crosshair V Formula and an 1100T.
Is it much of a performance upgrade compared to a 6970, (questionable - especially for the price tag, hence why I am asking your opinion on this too.)
And the 600 series is a few months away, however I believe those chips will start at the low end performance wise, similar to to GT 520 did with this generation of Fermi. I read it would take till the year's end of 2012 before we start to see something similar, or better performance wise comparable to the 580. (single gpu wise)
What would you do?
