What should I get and how much power do they need?

More about : 250 1gb ddr5 250 2gb ddr3

my rule of thumb is, regardless of the card, 1gig is never enough. they should stop making them.

you can't crossfire with a 3850. wrong card. so the card will be running on it's own. I still like the idea of 2gigs. the bandwidth on the ddr5 will be greater.

mantle will come into play. ( see amd site )

I still think I would go with the ddr3 card.
