XFIRE 7770 or 6870?

[Sam R]

What would be better?

Crossfire HD 7770s

or

HD 6870

The HD 6870 is better. Crossfire is a hassle, not worth the effort nor the micro-stutter.

However, the HD 7850 will be on par or slightly better than the 6870, while drawing less power and running cooler.

The 7850 is the best option if you can get it.

I think the cost of 2 7770 are very similar to the 7850, your better off getting that card and the 2 7770 does not scale to well.

This, although the 6870 is cheaper.

There is a probably 10% performance increase with the 7850 over the 6870.

It's about $30 more; see if you can get something like a Gigabyte OC edition, or most non-reference cards.
