2x gtx 580 or 3x hd 6970?

[tutstuts]

1.5gb 580s and 2gb 6970s

i know dual 7970s might be even better and for about the same price. but just between these two, which one would perform better?

and do you think an hx 1050 corsair psu would have enough juice for 3 6970s?

thanks

just to add up something: dual 6970s or single 7970?

merci!

GTX 580 is approximately 20% faster than HD 6970.
900W PSU would be enough for 3-way HD 6970 and overclocking too.
EDIT: The 3rd GPU in 3-way CF/SLI doesn't add much power.

LOL the in game plays are says that driver optimization have brought HD 6970 into same ballpark as GTX580 LOL and a third card in CF will add about 20% at leased.

If you already have one of them cards you mentioned and a board that does CF/SLI just add another and if not then wait for 7970 it is better than the rest.

No, The new drivers optimization brought the HD 6970 on top of GTX 570.

I don't like a percentage chart it is Fickle but i do know that the GTX 580 is overrated and that the Radeon 69xx and Nvidia 5xx series are both overrated and priced for what we are given but lets hope 79xx and Kelper will rectify this.
