Hi everyone, I am curious if I should Crossfire or upgrade my GPU. I feel its lacking to preform at my standards. So heres my specs.....


AMD FX 8350 4.33GHZ
MSI R7850 2GB GDDR5
8 GB Ram
650W PSU
Sabertooth 990FX R2.0
Hyper 212 Evo cooler

Also to help with my solution, I play a variety of games from WOW to Arma3.
I also stream and record at the same time and dual monitors.
Budget under $450 but cheaper is better!!

Thank you for your time!!!

depends on how much money you can spend on this. crossfire is cheap(er) and you get 40-60% improvement in games that support xfire - so check your particular games for crossfire scores before.

new gpu to work better you're looking at 400$+ to match that crossfire config (at least a gtx 770 or radeon 280x)

If I was you I would upgrade to something like a GTX 880 when it comes out or a GTX 770, here is a cheap 770 for $310: http://www.amazon.com/GTX770-DC2OC-2GD5-GeForce-256-bit-PCI-Express-OC-selected/dp/B00D3F7CFK/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1398875918&sr=8-4&keywords=
