Hello,

I have a pc that is mainly AMD.
Today when I play arma 3 it gives me terrible performance. After some research it shows that my gpu is the problem. Because its a bit outdated.
Now I have the choice to upgrade my card fully. Or Get a 2nd hand 6850 for a crossfire setup my motherboard was bought for. What is the best option? And What card would You recommend for around 200 euro.

Pc specs:
Asus hd radeon 6850
AMD Fx-8120
550 watt powersupply (coolmaster)
256 gb Ssd Samsung
1tb Hdd Samsung
8gb ramm ddr3

I would definitely go with a new card. I have heard a lot of good things about the EVGA 760 SC.

EVGA puts really good coolers on their cards and they also have awesome software for OC.

I would go with a new card as not all games support crossfire. If your pc is mainly amd then i would recommend an amd card like r9 270x or r9 280 (if you have a higher budget).

I would indeed sell that card and go for another one.

If you go for nvidia, I recommend the GTX 760, if you go for AMD, I recommend the R9 270X or R9 280.

You used Arma III as example, but I can tell you one thing, the game is not optimized very well. I have a GTX780, and I also don't get great performance. So don't expect to run that game at highest settings with high FPS. But most other games run great on the graphics cards I mentioned. For example, Battlefield 4 will most likely run fluently.
