What to do what to do

OK this is my situation fellas, I have a single Asus 5870 1GB card. I was thinking of getting two 6970's especially after seeing how well they scale. But that would run me around $800US. Compared to buying two more 5870's for three way crossfireX for $600US. My question is, will I see better performance out of three 5870's vs two 6970's? I'm willing to spend $800 on two cards but if I can spend $600 and see better performance it makes better since. I just cant find any reliable comparisons/benchmarks between three 5870's vs two 6970's. Thanks in advance.

I think that if you go 3x cards of any brand you quicly run into driver related problems not to mention that most games do not support 3 way crossfire or SLI.

yeah ur correct mate just stick with the 2 cards tri xfire/sli is only useful to benching mate u sometimes even get worse performance in games ppl with those kinda of set up usually have more money than sense if they dont bench
