I just bought the new 6970 XFX card. Im pretty impressed so far, without even propper drivers (To be released soon) and a not so hot cpu (Q8200 quad) Im getting excellent frame rates in F1 2010 in DX11 with EVERYTHING maxxed out, then add the eyefinity 6 option and its a pretty good card for your money tbh
This card has been called a bit of a let down by a few ppl, due no massive FPS gain, but the real reasion for this is a large change in the 69 series archtecture that will make its benifits felt in later realeases of games to come as they start to implement this new tech.
And the 2Gb of FAST GDDR5 ram is a big benifit also, and not to mention I have already easily and with no ill effects upped the GPU speed from 880mgz to 950 and and a BIG hike in ram speed also
Dont underestimate this series of cards, the good stuff is yet to come and it will be more future proof than most other options
IMHO Scan have never been ones to take advantage of there customers, I have ALWAYS found customer care/advice to be excellent
At the end of the day, you pays yer money.........
