i've asked this question on a few other forums and thought i would get your guys opinion
hi im looking to purchase a 6970 sometime in the near future since the release of the 7000 series might drive the price down.
my question is what brand should i buy there are lot of different choices on new egg and i was hoping to get some input from people who have owned a card from these brands or if people have information based on sources and not hear say?
---------------------------
several people have said HIS is a good brand ive looked and i seen 2 that the specs are almost the same but theres a 80 dollar price difference
HIS IceQ Turbo
HIS IceQ
the turbo has a very marginal clock speed increase over the non turbo. the one thing i did see listed that the non turbo did not was something called Mix eyefinity. i looked at there site for information didn't find anything Google turned up that you can run eyefinity without the need of an active adapter. anyone know if this is the case for the non turbo as well?
--------------------
also i would like to some time in the future buy another 6970 and crossfire them what kind of wattage would i need. believe the AMD min requirement is 550 Watt one 150W 8-pin 75W 6-pin power connector
ive seen plenty of PS with crossfire and SLI certified for 500 - 600 watts, do they downscale there power requirements when in dual mode or would i need 1100 just for the cards?
