should i get a 6970? Like, now? Or should I wait a bit more?

I heard newegg has a sale in march each year and considering crysis 2 is releasing soon, that could mean there is a sale AND a bundle of the game with a 6970.

Or should I get another card that can get to the same standards of 6970 (like crossfire something at a cheaper price)? Please don't mention nvidia because.......well, nvidia cards tend to just turn to a crisp after a year of use lol.

Well we can't decide on a graphics card for you. It all depends on your current specs, and what price range your looking at. And the Nvidia cards have nothing wrong with them; you just need a rig that is well balanced, and can sustain your card.
