    Hello guys

    First of all, I know this is not related to M17x but as a proud owner of this machine I was really curious about this comparison. I was about to upgrade my 6970m to something better, 7970m won this contest, but due to unavailability from Dell, I decided to cancel my order and will wait little further. But, to the point. Here is very nice comparison of both cards, I know its not in English, but screenshot with results tells the story. And I hope admins wont kill my thread, I found this comparison to be really interesting for me as M17x owner.

    Numbers in graph means average FPS across all tested games.

    Also to the results, they tell that 7970m is about 10% faster then 680m single, and about 4% faster in CrossFire then SLI. Which I find very very interesting in comparison to card prices.
