So I have built myself a new pc with an i5 2500k and asus p8p67 pro
I am looking to buy either an ati 6850 or a gtx 560 (non ti being released in a couple of weeks).
I am not looking for advice on graphic cards... I am pretty well informed about relative performance and what not...
But my question is...
for people who have crossfire or sli right now... are you satisfied with the QUALITY of the experience... I am not asking about fps.. I want to know things such as flickering, stuttering, excessive troubleshooting etc. that occur when you have two graphic cards installed. I hear that games don't generally support CF or SLI until new driver versions are out, is this true? I also know evga has their own patches they release (http://www.evga.com/articles/00463/) that help with SLI, these obviously work with all NVIDIA cards right?
I want to know if I should just get a single fast card and be done with it, or should I get a 6850 level card (more than enough for me for now) and cf it later (or SLI later starting with a 560)
Bottom line: my question is,
for people who have crossfire or sli right now... are you satisfied with the QUALITY of the experience...if you answer no Id like to know why,
thanks,
Amir
