I bought two Sapphire Radeon 6950 OC edition cards.
It works very nicely BUT I am dissapointed with Dirt 3. I am not sure why, but I only get 80 fps on max settings. Of course that's more than sufficient for smooth performance - BUT I had higher aspirations when I built this PC. It's the first PC I have built in a long time which I intended as a very high performance gaming PC (you know how it is sometimes, you just want something you can be proud of.)
So I am thinking of spending yet more money so I can smile when I run all these benchmarks.
What it looks like to me, is that dual GTX 670 cards, might be the best deal going. It's $800, but it sure looks like it's hard to step up a lot from what I have for less.
Dual 7950s might be an option as I can chop up to $100 off that $800. But the GTX 670 seems superior and perhaps worth the $100.
Not sure, but the lesser cards, such as the 7850 don't seem great when compared to the 6950?
