Nice but any reason why you never waited for or got sandy bridge?
Or why not get a 6950 and flashed it to a 6970?

Suppose it depends on when you ordered the parts?

There ain't any ROG boards for the Sandy bridge yet. My C2D system was dying and needed an upgrade asap =/

Also the 6950 unlocking to 6970 is going to be disabled in the new drivers and the new cards. There was a post about it somewhere in here.

Gonna be ditching the 470 and getting a 580 month end and a SSD. Should fly like an eagle after that :?

Hahaha I know what that upgrade bug is like
Sounds like a good plan was unaware of that 6950 issue
/goes to read up

Should fly like an eagle after that :?

Not if it gets sucked into a jet engine.
