Title: 5970 versus 6990 Post by: worldinacoin on December 04, 2011, 04:28:32 PM 5970 is now on the market at a great pricing compared to 6990. Which would you get? Or would you wait for 7XXX in order that 5970 and 6990 prices fall further?

But the prices are still quite high for 6990 as compared to 5970 and we are looking at only a 10-20% increase in performance.

If it's for mining, 3-$400 for a 5970 is great. Even for gaming I'd just take the 5970, as cheap as it is. But, the 5970 is better than the 6990 for mining anyway, so it's a no-brainer. The 7xxx series is still up in the air. No one knows what will happen with them. If they turn out running like a Fermi, those 5xxx cards are (still) going to be hot commodities. |
