Going to Crossfire!!! So I am looking at the MSI Power Edition Twin Frozr and Asus Direct CU II. Which one would you get?

Does this seem legit? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ASUS-Radeon-HD-7850-2048-MB-HD7850DC22GD5-Graphics-Card-/200943161524?pt=UK_Computing_Computer_Components_Graphics_Video_TV_Cards_TW&hash=item2ec92550b4

If you are going to Crossfire just buy a 7950 or 770.

Already have a HD 7850, and I wouldn't sell it, so might as well go for the extra power of two. If I do this I am not going to get a HD 9xxx series card either.

EVGA has amazing customer support. They pick up the phone instantly and fix any problem you might have even more instantly.

Thing is I am looking at second hand, so the only ones up at the moment are MSI, Asus and VTX3D. Don't normally go second hand but thought I would try and get one with £50 off. Also Evga only do Nvidia cards right?

Sorry I assumed they made amd cards. It doesn't seem like they do from what I see. I was going to get an MSI card but read in reviews that they don't test their cards very well and often time people get lemons. I never heard of VTX3D so I guess Asus is the only option you have at this point. I know you want to keep your current card but I tend to stay away from sli and crossfire. I always prefer having the coolest running system even If I have to replace my card completely.

The HD 7850' run rather cool, and I have enough room to fit another case fan in. I got rid of the stock intel cooler and got a Hyper Evo 212 so that is also cooler, so if it is to hot I am sure I can cool it down again.

Think carefully, be aware of what you are letting yourself into.

Micro-Stuttering. Some people get it some don't. I am going for it, hope I don't get it and if I do cry. Or sell if I must do. I see your point but I have thought of it for awhile now and think I should do it if I could get the second card cheap enough.

Still don't know, I might get lucky! I'll see what it goes for and if it is nice and cheap I might get it anyway.
