CF 6950's requirements and MS

[Consciencekills]

I was thinking about picking up another Radeon 6950 to crossfire and i was just wondering how bad the micro-stutturing problem really is?
Also will i be able to run them on a 800 watt cooler master silent golden psu no prob?
i already know i will have botttleneck issues with my 1100T though does anyone have any idea how bad that would be?
I would be able to overclock it with my cooler master hyper 212+ to some extent but im sure it will still bottleneck.
Any experiences from people with a cf 6950 set would be great!

hi, i have 6950xfire flashed to 6970 bios, yes 800w cm is fine i got 750w cm and they run sweet. i have not noticed any microstutter up to now. I dont think you would have much of a bottleneck if any, oc will help . bottlenecking is a bit overexaggerated in my opinion. they are a great set of cards

Ive been thinking about getting a second one for the longest time and after looking at Tom Hardwares article on micro stutturing i wasnt sure about it and ive heard some games have a 10% to 15% performance drop for some reason?
I just wanna make sure then investment is worth it now and not latter when the card may be cheaper and driver updates will have fixed the above problems

well from my experience I have not noticed any ms, it is a solid investment. Or you can just stick it out with one 6950 and wait for the 7000 series to come out see what they offer.
