So...ever since this HAF 932 landed on my doorstep, I have been kicking myself that I didn't get a 5970, so that I could get another one later. I used to have a regular case, that's why I got the 5870 and 5850...no way it could have put up with the heat of 2 5970s. But, the HAF shouldn't have any problem with that.

Is anyone on here thinking about buying a 5870? If so, would you consider buying mine for a good deal, so that I could get a 5970? You would be helping out the team, because later on down the road, that will allow me to add another 5970. :D

I have this Gigabyte one with dual fans, and the works...

You can see Newegg's price - mine's pretty new - I was thinking maybe $300 ish?
Please Let me know if anyone's interested!
Thanks.

I have 600.00 set back and waiting on the roll out of the new 69xx cards. If they are to high I'm going with a 5970....what will they do a day on MW?

The 5970 equivalent will be the 6990, so keep an eye on that one...

The 5970 at stock settings will probably do ~375k/day on MW (guessing, since I haven't run a card at stock for longer than it took to OC it). If you aren't doing anything crazy like gaming or video editing or anything of the sort, You can OC the card quite a bit, and get ~425k/450k on MW, depending on how far you push it.

Hmmm, Where is that checklist for fast money?
Here we go...
1) Face Mask. Check!
2) Map of downtown Banks. Check!
3) Lead thrower. Check!

Hey Doc. I'll have the money by late afternoon.......

LOL j/k. I wish, I wish, I wish I had that amount in my checking account.

Hope you find a good home for that card.

1. Discretion. Check.
2. Sexy pants and rock-hard abs. Check.
3. Loose moral structure. Check.

Just a thought... ;)
