The goal here is to play battlefield 4 on ultra settings, in 1080p, at 60 fps, and on a single monitor. I need help on choosing the graphics setup for my new system.

System:
Mobo: ASUS Crosshair V Formula-Z AM3+ AMD 990FX
CPU: AMD FX-6350 (OC to 4.4)
CPU Cooler: Corsair H60
RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengeance 1600MHz
SSD: Corsair Force GT Series
GPU or GPUs:????????????

Here is where I need help. So the question is (2) 2GB GDDR5 Radeon 7850s in crossfire or (1) 3GB GDDR5 Radeon 7950?

Thanks for reading!
Any help is greatly appreciated!

 
Solution
Yea, neither solution will achieve what you want at 1080p. If a $300 card could then the top end of the market would be redundant.

Of the two solutions, the dual 7850's will perform better but Crossfire can have its own issues and doesnt leave much of an upgrade path.
