Hello all, i currenty have a 7870 XT (VTX 3D) and was going to get 2 of these for next gen games. But i recently saw a cracking deal on scan. They were selling the MSI Twin Frozr 7970 for £232! Now my question is this, sould i sell my current card and pick up the 7970, or should i get another 7870 XT, I may even be able to get 2 7970's but is it worth it?
