Thanks, that's actually the exact one I was looking at, seems to be one of the higher rated 670's out there.

Been thinking of a GPU upgrade for a little while now, and have more or less decided to take the plunge to the 670 or 680 from my single 5870. My question is, I run a Asus P6X58D mobo which only has PCIe 2.0 slots, any concerns there or are the 2 cards in question ok with this mobo? Also...

It does seem like I would need to move to at least a 580 (on the nvidia side of things) to get a significant bump at my current res. Would I need to worry about being CPU bottle-necked if I moved to a 580 or 680? I am running an i7 930 at 3.4Ghz.

Thanks for the offer but already crossfired initially with 2 5870's on my early build and didn't care for it. Ended up selling the second 5870 and just keeping 1.

Wow, thanks for all the excellent advice everyone. Reminds me why I used to spend a lot of time on here and why i'm going to again! Appreciate all your replies.

Thanks for all the replies guys, appreciate it very much. Think i'm going to wait unless this one craps out soon.

Posting in the general forum too since it's kind of a general GPU question and i'm not tied to a brand or architecture. Hello Haven't really been keeping up to date with all the latest GPU offerings from AMD or Nvidia for that matter in the past year or so. Been running a single 1GB 5870...

Hello Haven't really been keeping up to date with all the latest GPU offerings from AMD or Nvidia for that matter in the past year or so. Been running a single 1GB 5870 in my PC for 2 years without too many issues. Curious - if I were to upgrade today or in the near future, what would be the...

Thanks for the updates, hardly a glowing recommendation of this new model. I had been considering it to replace my wrt54gsv2...think i'll wait for the WNDR3800 now.

Would you say it's worth replacing a functioning WRT54GSv2 for this? I've been using my WRT54GSv2 (running Tomato) for about 5 years now with very few issues and am kind of reluctant to replace it. Then again, been waiting for a nice piece of SOHO hardware with plenty of RAM and fast(er) CPU...

PM sent.

Ok...thank you for taking the time to respond. I was probably hoping you'd say exactly that. Thanks again.

Awesome, thank you all for the replies, you saved me time and money, much appreciated! That being the case then...is there a single GPU out there that would significantly improve my gaming and overall experience in my budget? I would assume the GTX 580 would but it's a little rich for my blood...

Given my system (in sig) what type of gains could I expect to reasonably (FPS, driver stability, thermals) see moving from a single 5870 to a single 6950? I've just recently decided to move away from Crossfire to the best single GPU solution I can currently afford. My budget if I do replace my...
