Cf6950's or 7970 upgrade?

[jijoslin]

my cpu is an amd965@3.91 and mobo is asus crosshair 3 with dual pci-e 2.0 slots, will my cpu or mobo bottleneck the new 7970 tahiti? also anyone know the power requirements?

you wont be able to tell any specs until its released, or atleast until the specs are up on the official amd website, and i wouldnt worry about bottlenecking because most gaming is more gpu reliant than cpu

that is if your looking for gaming
