Aurora R3 Upgrade GPU

markzonder · Aug 16, 2013

Currently my Aurora R3 has two 6950s in it, I'm looking to replace them with some current GPUs, hopefully with a significant improvement.

It has an i7-2600k, 3.4 ghz
16 gb ram
psu apparently is 875W.

thanks a lot!

Or pick up a 770: http://www.amazon.com/PNY-Enthusiast-Edition-Graphics-VCGGTX7702XPB/dp/B00CZ7Q028/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1376669824&sr=8-9&keywords=770

thanks a lot for the recommendations. I went to Canada Computers today, talked to one of the sales guys, he actually said that it's most likely not worth it to upgrade right now from two 6950s as they are powerful enough. While I'm glad that he didn't just talk me into spending money on a new GPU, I'd like to know what you think of this assessment? Thanks!

If you are happy with it, don't upgrade. If you aren't, upgrade.

Also since you are using a Crossfire setup I suggest you download the newest 13.8 drivers if you haven't already, it fixes issues with Crossfire.
