Hi,
Two months ago I bought an asus 6950 DirectcuII and I finally have to RMA it because it was corrupting textures and crashing constantly. Th vendor has accepted the RMA but does not have any more in stock this card. And the other 6950 available are more expensive (and worse cooling) or have only 1GB.
My motherboard is a Gigabyte P55USB3 with an I5-750 and the PSU is a corsar ax850 so no limitation here.
The main use is Gaming BC2 and future BF3 and Photoshop.
I'm considering two alternatives if I have to spend more money:
1.- Get two 6850 (the main issue here is that the second PCIE will work at 4x (or even less))
2.- Get a Nvidia 570GTX card (probably slower but more stable than Crossfire and faster in photoshop).
What other alternatives I have for around the same money?
Will I get full cfx performance of the second 6850 at 4x?
What card will you recommend for 570 in here http://www.alternate.es/html/summaryListing.html?searchCriteria=570&cat1=009&cat2=464&cat3=000) (sorry for the spanish)
Thank you in advance and best regards
