Hello everyone I am in need of some expert help!
I am running:
-Apevia X-Trooper Mid Case
-Asus M5A97 2.0 AM3+ Motherboard
-AMD FX 8-Core Processor- Black Edition
-AMD Radeon HD6670 2GB GDDR3 PCI-E Video Card
-8GB DDR2 RAM
-1TB SATA HDD
-160 GB SATA HDD
-500 Watt PSU
I am looking to upgrade my GPU in order to play games at much better settings.
OPTION 1: My question is should I buy another Radeon 6770, and use a crossfire connection to achieve better performane? The only problem that I think I may have and im not sure, is that I only have (1) 16xPCI-E & (1) 8xPCI-E. Wont that mean that both GPU's will run at 8x and not 16x?
OPTION 2: Spend a boatload on a single GPU with at lease 2-4GB of DDR5
OPTION 3: Spend $179 CDN on GTC(X) 650 w/ 4GB of DDR5. NO CROSSFIRE option tho
THANKS !!! I really appreciate the help
