yeah thats the only problem with the 6870... and the reason behind for me wanting two gpus is because the inside of my case looks pretty bland lol, ive got this huge window and theirs like nothing in it which kind of bothers me since the main point of a window is for people to see the nice stuff inside..
i can deal with one gpu though... its probably just really empty looking because ive got a mico-atx motherboard, stock cpu cooler, one 6670, and only 2 extra fans.. haha
if i do end up going down the crossfire road though i would have to upgrade my motherboard... but im looking into getting a new cpu down the road anyways.. (the motherboard i have right now is from HP and it has a max tdp of 95watts)
