Want to get a a new GPU but not spend a ton of money since the only game I play is Counter Strike, Rust and Fallout 4. 7850 runs all those games fine, just want more juice.

Should I get a XFX 7870 or cross fire my Power Color 7850 PCS+

FX-6300 4.3 GHz
GA-970A-UD3P
Antec EarthWatts Green 430W 80+ Bronze (I will need to upgrade this soon)

Crossfire has its inherent problems, as does SLI, when it works it is great when it does not, it stinks. that is why I said either, (but it corrected to wither) as it is up to you, I would choose a single card given the option ( but the 7870 is not worth the money as it is hardly better). I would sell the 7850 and get an R9 290X.

But I read on 2013 threads that the 7850 Crossfire was bad and had lots of issues. Have they improved it since then?

Would a GTX 660ti Superclocked+ 3GB be better?

never mind, yeah those cards are too old. a r9 series card will be a better choice and they do not break the bank. thanks
