What happens if they very same problem with your 4870x2 pop up with your new cards, which is likely to happen since the 5970 is based on the same technology and CF bad drivers.

I guess you could sell your cards and take a loss, but that just wasting money. You might have plenty of money, but everyone is not like you and must be practical at the same time.



Yikes that a bad upgrade. What resolution do you game at? If the dirt 2 benchmarks are any indication, the 5770 might be too slow for high settings in future directx 11 games and probably the 5850 too.

Did you sell your 4870? You should have just waited for your 5850 to come back.
My 5770 plays dirt 2 maxed (hihest settings) at 16X10 flawlesly . Now I am playing with a monitor that supports 1440X9. Screenshot of the score my 5770 got below. dont under estimate this card seeing as it is at 1010/1420 too 17k 3dmark score with my cpu at 3.6ghz is awesome too
