Do you guys think im going to see a worth while increase in Fps If i wait and buy a pair of 5970's (that could release in 6 months for all we know) or just get a Pair of 5870 vapor-x editions and call it a day? I would like to max everything out on which ever game with full aa i can if i can
 lol i do realize this question is kinda redundant.

If you play at such high resolutions and even want to enable AA go for the 5870 CF.

oh i ment as to take it 1 step further a vapor-x edition of the 2gb lol i was just debating on whether or not id actual see a worth while gain in waiting for a 5970 let alone paying for a pair
also considering the vapor-x i could more then likely overclock then insanely maybe breaking the magical 1ghz core clock barrier but from the look of things these 5970s are seeming to be a 5950 in disguise who knows.. well im got sometime i suppose before the vapor-x will be back in stock to decide with all your help This post has been edited by unknownuser200: Nov 8 2009, 06:27 AM -------------------- Coolermaster Cosmos S
