isn't 6970 single GPU??? 6990 is dual GPU
Yes, but you can run multiple cards on one motherboard... lol

WRONG!
You can only use 4 GPU's for 3d rendering as that is all current drivers allow for.
BUT!
As like F@H, cryptology can be done with multiple GPU's, as it uses its cores NOT the GPU itself as a collective.

Technically true the FAH clients lets up to 8 GPUs run but there is software mod or something. What happens when you try to load 5+ GPUs in Windows 7 with pocblm it doesn't load drivers for any card after the 4th GPU and when you assign device=4+ it doesn't recognized it. Core-wise I'm not so sure if Windows recognizes dual-GPU cards as 2 GPUs or 1 GPU. This is from personal experience with 5x5870 so other people might have had better luck.
Again, I said that in theory. Honestly, you will run into scaling problems. When you run <3 GPU's on a single computer, you are losing performance.
2x the same GPU does NOT equal 2x the performance

Some people have managed it but its kind of arbitrary. If your staying with Windows 7 a good rule of thumb is unless you know your motherboard can explicitly support it and you have the time or the experience modding conf files. 4 is probably the max GPU for Windows 7.
Can i put 3 or more HD 6970 on windows 7. As i understand 6970 has to GPU each and Windows only allow 4 GPUs to run. Correct me if im wrong.
Or should i get HD 5870 instead
