Use 7950s, lower power, faster cards. Crossfire does nothing for you. And you should be getting better hashing out of the 6970 - I get 475k-485k/scrypt on mine using stock numbers.

7950 900MHz will give 520 kHash/s
but 6970  880MHz  will Give 400 kHash/s per Card  ? is this correct /
If i Cross fire 4X6970  , will i get 1600 kHash/s ?
is this correct ? ??? ??? ???

Don't crossfire your cards, it will slow them down. Just put the four cards in your rig without crossfire cable attached.

I have a Sapphire 6950 and it does 450 Kh on average, stock no oc/uv. But it runs a bit hot, about 75 C at 60% fan in air-conditioned room. Oh, it eats electricity like a monster and makes noise like a monster too. Will never ROI anytime soon but I don't care about that.

You can pull 600k hash on a 7950 and higher plus it uses almost 100 watts less power per card.
