sell the 7850 and get a 7970 or crossfire 7850, a 7970 will give you better reliability, but crossfire 7850's should give better performance.

Available from 3pm to Midnight Eastern Time (GMT-5). (>'-')> <('-'<) ^(' - ')^ <('-'<) (>'-')> You can't stop the kirby dance.

Just wait. At 1080p your 7850 should be doing fine. I wouldn't crossfire with mid tier cards as you'll botllneck the GPU power with the vram limitation. Either get a 9000 series or a 780 when prices drop. If you are really itching to upgrade I would recommend finding a cheap 7970. I've seen them as low as $280 in the last week.
