Waco Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 2 GB on a 5970 means two 5870 1 GB cards...so a "2 GB 5970" is only a 1 GB card thanks to how Crossfire works. Seriously, it's a waste of money. Even if you can find a 4 GB version (so really a 2 GB card) it's just not worth the money. Yeah, I know. He was talking about 2GB VRAM being enough, and I was talking along those lines.Most 5970s don't have 2GB of VRAM... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puck Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 7970s are dirt cheap now, hard to beat for the price if looking used. When my 290x's come in I'd sell you one of mine for the same $120 if you are still looking. I run them at a bit over Ghz edition speeds on stock volts(1100/1500) and even being a few years old I'm sure they can still max pretty much anything at 1080p. Two of them were adequate for 1440p, but the are finally showing their age at 4k so I'm going dual 290x's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will shoot you a PM. $120 sounds like a fair price. I said no used stuff but being an OCC member makes things a little different. I RAISE YOU A 9800GX MUTHA FLUCKIN TWO!! (the worst card I've ever purchased) Only if I can find two of them to run in Quad SLI. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was talking about VRAM in general. I don't know why you decided to bring about details of 5970 2GB VRAM like I don't know.
