Sick of updating cards for small increase in performance. If i am maxing all games out now with my current setup on Ultra settings .and Ivy bridge isn't even here yet to utilize the new cards then why not just wait.
Sure if someone wants to Sponsor the Cards and Water blocks ram plates Bridge setup etc i will definitely put them in but really i dont see the performance there to justify spending a fortune to run games at the same V synced Frame rates. Trust me i though long and hard about it. I might add 3rd 6970 but will be more for show then anything.
680 and 7970 are great cards if you have an old GPU and need to upgrade but if you already own a couple 580's or 6970's i don't see the point at this time.My plans are to save my cash and go with some real GPU power next year. If i was rich i would probably go 2 7970's just because i prefer ATI/AMD GPU's but don't get me wrong i love Nvidia also.I just prefer ATI/AMD .
Take care and remember this is just my opinion not a debate.

New egg did a review with bench marks on the 680. The 3dmark 11 score was like 13xxx in sli. My cards are doing 11466 in sli. Granted the 680s are stock, but still. I think they are way too much right now. The heaven score was not much better than mine either. I agree with mybad on this one.
