Hey guys,the company i bought my old gtx 280 card is offering to replace my busted 280 for a to GTX 470 1280MB Palit,anyways i have been planning on buying a ATI 5970 to run triple monitor setup,but is it a better option with maybe 2x 470? The problem is i have an ASUS motherboard P7p55D LE and i heard it wont run 2 gfx card together at full speed,so what is the better option for me to use? 1x ATI 5970 2x 470 taking into consideration of motherboard speed Thanks guys Windows 7 (64) Asus P7P55D LE Intel P55 Chipset SLI/CrossFireX DDR3 LGA1156 ATX Mainboard w/ 7.1 HD Audio Intel Core i7 860 2.80MHZ 8MB Cache LGA1156 ***Overclockable XXX*** 1000 Watts Power Supplie (Azza Gaming Active PFC Power Supply SLI/CrossFire Ready ) 8GB (4x2GB) PC10666 DDR3/1333mhz Dual Channel Memory (G.SKILL NQ Series w/Heat Spreader GTX 285 currently |

Don't worry about your motherboard. The speed difference is negligible. If you want to buy the cards immediately, i would go for the GTX 470 in SLI. If you are willing to wait a bit longer, the 6800 series is about to come out. |

Well this is getting a little frustrating now lol, I was told specifically to NOT get 2 x470 (due to my MB speed) as the 1 x 5970 is far superior and runs almost 30-40 % better? i cant afford the new H6 series ati card to be honest so it is down to the options as stated,2 x 470 or 1 x 5970. Also i will probably fit in 2 cards(but with a squeeze as i already have a creative soundcard installed) thanks for more feedback guys , i really appreiate it |

Really, dont worry about your mobo, the speed will indeed be negligible, as it is only a few %. You may be interested to read this. |

Dont know about what MB you have. I just went from 2 5870's to 2 GTX 470's and I like the 470's much better Im running three Dell 2410's @ 5760x1200 got sick of the buggy and incomplete drivers from ATI. |

I think you'll find that if you read his original post, he is referring to the 5970, not the 5870. |
