Can't wait for WSGF to review the 6970!

I see from other benchies it scales a lot better at 2560x1600 resolution while gaming.

Unfortunately (or fortunately?) there is a serious lack of Eyefinity reviews on day 1 of release. Basically this is how I'm going to judge wether (or when) to upgrade from a 5870.

Thanks in advance!

I think good choice. Right now I have a 6870, and I can play virtually everything on high settings @ 5760x1080. So the 6970 should be even better, if not great! :D

Right now I am waiting for the 7000 series in the second quarted of 2011. It should have a smaller gpu chip, so cooler and more performance (again :hide ).

Seeing what the CF scales like and how the 6970 does at higher res, if I can get confirmation that CF and EF works without the *&*%*#!! stutteryness I am sold on a pair. Selling my 5970 to get a 5870 cos of the CF+EF=stutter was not good.
