I read on this site:
http://www.crackingservice.com/?q=node/20
It did seem very odd to me that a card as old as the 5970 would perform better than a 970..
Maybe I misread? Or the website could just be wrong. I did some more research on the 970, and it looks like the website might be wrong. Either way, I can still get 3 5970's for close to the price of 1 970. Is there any value to that?
EDIT: Also it might be useful to point out that I'm primarily cracking WPA, but I'd like something with a little room to grow, if I need it to crack anything else.
EDIT 2: Looking at that site again, there's actually a disclaimer saying that the numbers might be wrong due to oclHashcat getting better.
