    So if I was choosing form these GPUs:

    5870mx2
    6970m
    6990m

    which ones would be the best bang for you buck kind of deal. Im not looking to spend over like $600-700. Also, can you put dual 6970m and 6990m's? People say you probably can but is it guaranteed that you can? Has anyone tried it yet? I know that the 5870m's work for sure though.
