    I can get the aafes deal and I'm thinking about getting two systems. One system would be the 120hz screen with the 460 card. The other would be a 6970m and 60hz screen. I would swap the card and sell the 60hz with the 460 card for 1500 bucks. What do you guys think? Only thinking about it at this stage.

    the 6970 will not work with the 120hz screen as far as I know. Definitely not the 3d for sure.

    Neither system would have full warranty so I wouldn't recommend it.

    Kinda what I was thinking. Probably not going to do it. It would be a hard sell to the wife :rolleyes: Would like to know if the 6970m card would be compatible with 120hz
