Crossfire 6 Series VS. Single 7 Series HELP!

[Killsuit71]

Ok so im building another computer for myself since I sold my last one foe 800. My question is:


WILL: two Radeon 6850's do better than one Radeon 7770?

The motherboard im using supports crossfire in (x16 x4) bandwith.

So who is the winner!?

Cheers

According to that, single HD 6850 beats single Hd 7770. So crossfire HD 6850s would be even better.

seems like an odd comparison, since the 6850 is only ~$10 cheaper than the 7770, and the primary benefit of the 7770 is much lower power draw.

Yea.. AMD overpriced the HD7770, and it's the choice for people who don't want to upgrade their power supply.
