Thanks John. I am trying to figure out the best way to incorporate it into my rig. It seems that if I ran the new 7870 on POEM and my 7950 on Dirt I would get pretty decent ppd. However, given my Mobo and POEMS bandwidth issues, I would be losing ~25-30% ppd on POEM.
The new card would also leave me little to no room for my desired soundcard. (prefer sound card not to be right next to 2 electrically noisy GPUs). So I am in a sort of bind. LOL.
I want to build a baby rig for the 7870 using my old phenom ii 955. Problem is I sold the Mobo and would need some other parts. I cant build the baby rig for less than 100$, and I dont have that money layin around right now. So ya...
