Thinking of upgrading from my Radeon 5870 to a 7970.
Is there anything I really need to know before doing so?
One thing I did notice is that a 7970 requires an 8pin and 6pin connectors from the PSU. My 5870 has two 8pins going to it. Do I need to check to make sure that I have a spare 6pin before purchasing this card or will two 8s work?
Also, to make Eyefinity work, what do I need? My monitors have DVI, HDMI, VGA. Will an active mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter be all I need?
Thanks!
