Speed on Radeon HD6970
#4
I know 7970s are faster do to memory speeds but I found the 6000 series to be a bit power hungry. See below:

5870: MD5 speed: 5821 ~ Watts: 188
6970: MD5 speed: 5878 ~ Watts: 250

Not sure how accurate the wattage is but if it's right, the 6970 uses 60 more watts for no performance gain!

I ended up buying 5 x 5870s off ebay for about £100 ($160) each.
