Which card would you use in a new build (i7)?

[robkm75]

Have both a Radeon 5770 and 6670. Wan to use one or the other.
Finding it hard to compare the two but i believe I am better off with the 5770.
Thoughts?

Defenitely 5770.

 

[robkm75]

why?

 

[yummerzzz]

...Because it's better?

this is the evidence check your self and then see that the hd 5770 is quite better than the 6670

Good point. But I own the cards and only want to but a board and processor is i7 2600 no good?

The i7 2600K is a lovely CPU, some people are just jealous that's all!

Put them in Crossfire , and seriously dont get a i7 2600, it cost 100USD more, yet performs the same as a i5-2500

Unless of course the OP is one of those strange people that actually uses their PC for more than just gaming. :lol:

 

[robkm75]

can you crossfire two different cards? Does the second card have to be slotted in pci?

 

[Mousemonkey]

TBH, I really dont see 99% of the PC market benefiting from grabbing an i7 over a Athlon II x2
maybe it's just me...

Yep, it's just you.

 

[robkm75]

only have a 5770 and 6670 (not 6770, not sure if it matters) also wasnt going to spend $$ on a CFX board and then i would need more power! Have 500 wt already. Think I'll go with the i7 2600K and my 5770...they should work well for my solitare card game... (lol, jk, thanks for input)
