Hey gurus..I'm planning to buy a new graphic card. I have been a big Asus fan and have short listed the following 2 but having difficulty choosing between them:
ASUS Radeon HD 6870 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express Dual DVI/HDMI Video Card with Eyefinity EAH6870 DC/2DI2S/1GD5
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004H8C2XO/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER
and
ASUS ENGTX560 DCII OC/2DI/1GD5 GeForce GTX 560 (Fermi) 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card, ENGTX560 DCII OC/2DI/1GD5
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0051E3BYM/ref=ox_sc_act_title_7?ie=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER
As I have read in reviews there has been some problem while crossfiring the Asus model of the HD 6870 mentioned above. I plan to buy the following motherboard:
MSI P67A-GD55 (B3) LGA1155 Intel P67 B3 DDR3 SATA3 and USB 3.0 A&GbE ATX Motherboard
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004P3X4V0/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER
So wanted to know your choice of the graphic card and whether I will be able to crossfire/sli these properly on the motherboard and whether PCIe 2.1 iin HD 6870 makes any difference.
Please provide suggestions for any other graphic cards also in the price range (other manufacturers included)
Other than this I'll get an Intel core i5 2500k processor.
