So the time has come to move on up...

I know selling my current 6970 is always an option, as well as a hassle.

Sooo, ive found a brand new 6950 for 150$.

My question is, is it practical to unlock this new 6950 or should i keep hunting for a deal on a used 6970. New egg is selling the 7970 for 304 and offering a 25$ off promo (or might wait for black friday)

I heard xfire 6970 gives u a slightly better performance bench than a single 7970

Im running a,raidmax 1000w psu, so theoretically my rig should handle the added demand without an issue


Any insight is appriciated!!

Im running an epic air cooling setup in a atx full tower. Never really had issues with heat.

Also at 1000w im well over the power demands on 2 69xx cards.

Thanks for the input!
