Go to solution Solved by techswede,

the Omega drivers should fix the stuttering

Then i'd say go for it OP. 

They overclock pretty well too

Is it worth to crossfire 7850s? the first 7850 will cost me about 30 bucks but the second will either be free or 80 dollars. currently i have a 650ti boost and cant sli cause my Mobo only supports Crossfire.

Even for $110 that will provide you with VERY good performance for the money, however given that the games you play actually support Crossfire.

It works fine with some light stuttering and flickering in dark areas.

Hell, why not? For $30 to $110 for Xfire'd 7850's? Sign me up. That'll be about the same as a single 290X

it slightly above 280X in power but nowhere near 290X maybe 290 only

Do you know if the asus m52a97 r2.0s second slot is above 4x or is 4x?
