Heey guys,
i am looking for a nice upgrade to my gpu. i know i need to upgrade my psu first, but i am actually planning to upgrade that at the same time and also get a ssd. i am getting the:
- XFX ProSeries 850 Watt, 20+24 Pins
- Samsung 840 Series Full Kit 250 GB SSD
but next to that i also really want to get a second gpu for heavy gaming. right now i am running:
- i7-3770k @4.2Hz ~ CPU
- XFX AMD Radeon 7950 BE DD @1.0GHz ~ GPU
- Corsair Vengeance 16GB @1.6GHz ~ RAM
- ASRock Extreme 4 ~ MoBo
- Seasonic M12II-520 Bronze 520 Watt, 20+24 Pins ~ PSU
- Seagate Barracuda 1TB HDD 7200RPM 32MB/s ~ HDD
- Scythe Mugen 3 PC Gamer Edition ~ CPU cooler
- Spire X2 ~ Case
now here's the deal, i want to get asecond gpu. now i just don't know wich to choose. i am torn between getting the:
- XFX AMD Radeon 7970 BE DD
and the
- XFX AMD Radeon 7950 BE DD
i am going to run these in crossfire. now wich one is better to get, money is not really such a big thing in this upgrade. my main question actually is: would a r7970 also perform well in cfire with a r7950 or will it suffer from a performance drop since it is not the exact same card, or would a r7950 outperform the 7970+7950 setup?
do tell me if it is better to get the r7950 over the r7970 if the 7970+7950 looses too much in performance.
hope you guys can give me the answer.
Sincerely,
Gecko
