I WAS originally planning on getting a single 6950, but seeing as I am hella cheap, I suddenly had an urge to reconsider getting a crossfire solution right as I was putting in my credit card information. I mean, I do have a somewhat high budget if I'm considering getting two 6870s - But I really want the best performance I can get with as little money as possible.
If I was to get a crossfire solution, I would probably buy the cards within 3-6 months of eachother.
My options are:
1x 6950 MSI Twin Frostr II 2GB - $310
2x 6850 Asus DirectCU 1GB - $360 before MIR, $320 after
2x 6870 HIS Reference 1GB - $440 before MIR, $400 after
2x 6870 ASUS DirectCU 1GB - $480 before MIR, $440 after
Right now however, I'm leaning towards the 6950 or 2x 6850.
I'm upgrading from the 512MB 4850. How much faster would a 6950 or 2x 6850 be?
My resolution is 1920x1080.
