That's how I read the chart anyway... And that's why I asked, with no sarcasm or dig intended, if I was reading the chart wrong... or perhaps if the 5970 scales poorly on CF and you can't compare the results of 2 x 6970 with 2 x 5970.

EDIT: As I wrote on my original post I'm just focusing on the 1920x1080 resolution. Can't play at a higher resolution because that's as high as my 37" TV goes...
well obviously 2 5970s are still going to perform very well..they aren't that old.
you cant honestly think one 6990 is going to beat 2 5970s right? ..that is like 4 5870s vs 2 6970s....only in games where xfire doesnt scale will the latter be more powerful realistically.
