I just grabbed a 6970 Lightning for $ 290.00 shipped

used of course, but that is cool as I intend to put some serious volts through it figuring it may not survive the ordeal, hopefully a medal contender ............

I'm in a similar boat ATM, wanting to get something that would work in my case and having to shop around before I commit to buying one. Doing the same too related to what I have and while these are not bad, just not quite enough for what I really want to do here.
Yeah, but you're the best ship's doctor in the fleet

Fry it WD

Since I got the 560 I've had it more or less folding and scoring over 17K PPD with it.

Performance is a hair under what the 570's will do and temps are staying below 55c at all times even when OC'ed and fuly loaded (100% GPU useage) with a folding WU. I'm actually folding with it and browsing the web at the same time and it's still pulling over 17K PPD as I type this.
Great card and glad I got it.
