Ultimate graphics performance

[pnico]

hi guys,

I posted about this the other day..

My current rig is a core i7 950
12 gig ram
1 tb 7200 rpm drive
eyefinity
asus pt6 deluxe v2 board..

I just upgraded from 2 4870x2 to a 5970..

im hearing that there is a 5990 to be released..overlocked 5970 with added memory..

for the ultimate gaming performance is it better to get 2 5970's? to wait and get 2 5990's?

money is no real object..

I know the 5990 has yet to be released..

If money is no object I suggest you to wait at least until 26 March when Fermi appears and soon the ATI response will come. Also if money is no object I would put buy some SSDs for the best loading times ever

Sounds like you have lots of money just floating around... got any to spare?

Since you have an Eyefinity setup and you want the best performance possible, then I would wait for the HD 5990 to come out.
