6970 or 6870?

[nordlead]

I ordered the 6870 and the retailer sent me the 6970 instead. Do I keep the 6970, or sell it and try buying 6870 again?

Relevant System Specs:
i5-2500k
ASRock Extreme3 Gen3
Corsair CX600V2
1680x1050

I think the 6970 will just fit on a 40A 12V rail.

Thoughts?

just to check, did you already have a 6870 and u were trying to buy another for Crossfire?

@hugostiglitz I think its reasonable to think that he wouldn't Xfire dual 6870s with a 40 amp psu.
