Go to solution Solved by 7850OC,

4 cores and 3.1ghz is not a bad gaming cpu friend  ^_^ (not sure how good can OC that with a good cooler)

 

two 7850 = 7970 (or a R9 280x)  :rolleyes:

 

i think add one more 7850 is a good choice (if the two 7850 are the 2GB model, if is 1GB... sell it)  ;)

 

but if you can, a R9 280x (or a 7970) is will be a great new card  :D

no need to worry, any quadcore can handle that.

No, throw out the 7850 and get a better single GPU anything over 100 should be better than messing around with crossfire on such an old card.

CPU = A10 6800K (@4.3Ghz) / GPU = HD 8670D (@844mhz/ram@1866mhz) - 2016 ≠ Dual Cores - why learn Linux ? - OLD intel x4 cpu (Q6600) + amd HD 7950 - this is what i think on watts x dollar cost - CPU "bottlenecks" only start to show "at the super high end cards" (like the 390) if you have a 4 cores CPU

it's the previous gen

 

thats not old

old doesn't mean what it used to at the moment.  Obsolescence and upgrade cycles have pushed from 2 years out to 5 and in some cases more.  What you have is still acceptable and usable. Just the GPU letting you down.  It's similar to mine (GTX570) does the job but not much oomph.
