If D300 is like 7970m, then D300 is pretty good according to Tom's Hardware Hierarchy Chart. It's 3 steps below the 7970 Ghz Ed. I read somewhere on here that the 7970 is like the D700. I wonder if the 7970 = 7970 Ghz Ed, same card?
According to the chart 7970 = 2x 4870, thus 2 D300s would like 4 4870s. I have the 4870 right now in my 4,1
