Bought a Sapphire HD7870 to replace my 6970 after a little research. Just updated the drivers and set Skyrim graphics to ultra (with mods). FRAPS shows I'm only getting 29fps.

My system:
Phenom II X6 1100T 3.30 GHz
8GB RAM

Either of these bottle-necking me? I can't remember if I ran Skyrim on high or ultra with my old 6970 but either way I was anticipating being able to enjoy it maxed out with this new card.

Nope, the HD 7870 is faster than the HD 6970. That lovely GCN architecture is vastly superior.
