Conundrum

[Max Money AWA]

I would like a SFF gaming PC but I can't fit a full size GPU into it, but for the same price as the card I'd like I can get 2 low-profile cards AND the 2 cards will give me about the same stats as the single card. I'm shooting for a 7850 card with 2gig GDDR5 memory and 1024 processers which is about $170 US now and two 7750 cards will equal 2gig GDDR5 memory and 1024 processers in Crossfire.

 

So do I stay with the SFF I'd like and run 7750's in Crossfire or go with a standard case and one 7850?

What case can you not fit a 7850 in? They're pretty small as is. I can't really tell by what you're saying, but you know two 1GB cards won't give you 2GB VRAM right? Two 1GB cards in CFX is 1GB total VRAM.

 

If you mean a case with only low profiles PCI slots I think you'd be much better off with a different case.There is a 7850 made in low profile but I believe it's quite costly.

What case were you looking at because they have alot of SFF cases that can accomadate longer graphics cards?

I am hoping to use the XION-720P_WT case, so it's definitely for low-profile cards only. Where would I find that low-profile 7850 card? The 7750's I'd like to use are a pair of HIS Radeon HD 7750 with GDDR5 VRAM.

Why not an ASUS 670 Direct-cu Mini?

 

Also, AFAIK those aren't CROSSFIRE-compatible cards.

EDIT: It seems I was wrong... But I don't see a crossfire interface anywhere.
