Hi guys!
So im about to swap out my Ati Radeon 5570 Reference Model card for a new card, the ones i´ve got my eyes on atm are: the nvidia 460,ATI 6870, 6850,6950 and the 5870.
They are priced almost at the same level with a price tag of around 40dollars seperating the prices.
So the question is quite simple..which card would be the best buy? Im gonna play alot of games, like : MW3 , BF3 , WoW, Rage, and the list goes on, id like a card that would max these games, excluding BF3..since BF3 would require a 6990 at the least from what i´ve read on various forums.
Id get a 6950 right away by the looks of it atm, but its a saphire 6950..and i´ve had bad experiences with saphire models...so which one of these cards would be the best?
Specs:
Intel Core i7 860 Quad
6gig ram
500PSU
If any of these cards would be to much for my PSU, please tell me and il scratch that one of the list, i am NOT replacing any other PC component for another year or 2.
NOTE: IM gonna swap out the card i get when the 7xxx / 6xx END cards come out next year, keep that in mind. I will not OC, only buy factory OC´ed cards.
Thanks for your inputs!

Lol, bf3 doesn't require a 6990 to play it. That is ridiculous for anybody to think that they know what will run bf3. I could run it at high settings with a nice buttery frame rate. But this is only the beta, so nobody really knows until it's actually released.Yeah at the beta it ran silky smooth on medium settings, i ment maxing it out would requie a 6990/590, so i heard.

HD 5870 performs better than HD 6870/50... do you wanna benchmarks ? and you're going to play at 1680 resolution not 1080P, so 60+ FPS is in your hand on ultra.
I wouldnt mind seing some benchies to prove your case , if your willing to provide them that is
THanks for your inputs thus far, very helpfull!

it has PCie 16x16 according to CPU-Z Motherboard tab...hm strange, it said it had pcie 2.0 before, im supposed to look at Graphic Interface in the mobo tab ->Link width and max supported i guess? Since its all i can find under PCie. If my memory serves me right tho, i think my mobo has pcie express 2.0, i just dont think that CPU-Z can recognize it.
Can i see which slot it has if i open my rig and take a look?

To OC your GPU you don't need a watercooling, it's only for extreme overclocking. Any Aftermarket CPU cooler such as Hyper 212+ will make it.
You must be sure that your PSU is a branded one, Corsair/Antec/CoolerMaster...
Its a packardbell PSU because, as i mentioned before, its factory built @ packard bell

That's a good sign, i don't think there should be any problem with Xfire on that MOBO.
I would suggest that you look a little into it before you do it. (like what chipset it has).

Ok i just hit another bump in the road..since i dont know a flying !"#¤ about graphic card specs and such, which of these should i pick from the 5870´s?
http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss/277-1755788-27...
Now that i´ve browsed amazon, i came across the nvidia 560ti aswell, its almost the same price as the 5870, which would be the best? planning on SLI or Xfire in the future, but not for another 12months at least

Thanks guys!
Im gonna buy a PSU then, since i u guys told me i should get a branded 1 and even AMD suggested me to get a certified PSU, such as Corsair.
Im thinking of Getting this PSU, will it be able to handle a crossfire with 2 5870 and even better cards in the future ? I would like the PSU to last for a good 2-3years , i will maybe as mentioned before, go sli/x fire in the future so bear that in mind.

Sounds completely awesome
Il grab that PSU up by tomorow if everything goes well then, and then by next month or so il get my 5870, thanks guys, you´ve been extremely helpfull!
Oh one last question (sorry xD) Is there any diffrence between the performance boost between SLI and Xfire? does Nvidias cards scale better then amd´s or vice versa?
