6970 xfire on 16x and 4x
Last response: in Graphics & Displays
I am getting a bonus and have been thinking about upgrading my computer.
Mobo: asus p8p67 rev 3.1 16x/4x
PSU: Corsair TX750 (sli/xfire rdy)
5 case fans
1 HIS 6970 2gb
1 ssd 120gb
2 hd's 500gb/1.5tb
cpu:i5 2500k
My question is...can I get another 6970 without upgrading my motherboard/psu? Or will the
750w PSU and 16x/4x bottleneck my system

Damn, too bad you didn't push for another 20$ and get the Pro version; you'd be able to do 8x/8x. 4x will slow down a 6970, by too much IMO that I wouldn't buy another card of that price.
The PSU sounds fine though.
EDIT: unless I'm reading this wrong and your bonus is for the WHOLE rig and not just the card! If you're buying a while rig, then upgrade the motherboard; 4x in SLI/CFX is NOT good! Either upgrade for a p8p67 Pro or get an Z68 based board (if you don't care about SRT or QuickSync, then you could save a few bucks in staying with a P67 based board)
