My Graphics Card

[xAdam]

Hey guys :)

 

Im getting a new graphics card and im thinking of going crossfire or SLI in the future. I know SLI is better and crossfire is buggyer at the moment.

 

Im thinking between 7950, 7970 , 770 and 760.. Is it really worth going for a 7970? Since ive seen alot of the frame rates achieved are pretty much the same as a 7950 and alot of the 7950 results from crossfire ive seen are beastily :) Also what do you guys think of what nvidea have to offer?

 

Ive got a CX600W PSU so ill probably need to upgrade if i go crossfire or sli.

 

Its also running on an extreme 4 ASROCK mobo, which is SLI and CrossfireX compatible.

 

Ill be playing at 1080p.. maybe 1440p although most likely 1080p..

 

Ive got an intel i5 3570k and will run games like battlefield, call of duty, star craft, far cry 3, crysis.. the AAA titles ;)

At 1080p a single 770 or better a signle 7970 Ghz editions is more than enough, a SLI/Crossfire config with these cards would be total overkill for 1080p at current gen gaming.

IF you are gaming at 120 hz, one 780/ two 770 will do the trick. If you don't need to upgrade now, i'll wait to see what AMD is going to pull with the remade drivers for Xfire, 7970 is worth it, a bit slower than the 770.

xFire doesn't have any issues if you have a program called RadeonPro ^_^ it makes crossfire better than SLI by far if you look at the frame output charts for 7970 xFire w/RadoenPro vs 680 SLI

If you can afford it, always go with the most powerful card now, then increase performance down the line by SLIing. Top picks, top performance (in your budget, at least).
