Hey all,
I'm building a new rig with the following spec:
core i7 3770k with arctic freezer i30
asus p8z77-v
8gb corsair vengance LP
Note: I'm using a hyper 580w psu and a 1680x1050 screen
I currently have a sapphire HD4870 1gb vapor-x and find its been struggling lately with games (i play mainly fps's and rpg's - skyrim, crysis2, max payne3, witcher2, gta4, borderlands2, sleeping dogs etc)
My question to the forum is: Can I get another 4870 and crossfire, and get performance any where near to a 7950 / 660ti, or should i shelf out £250 for a new card; bearing in mind that a second hand 4870 would cose me ~£60
Note: I've found both a 7950 (msi Twin Frozr III) or (HIS iceQ boost) and a 660ti (MSI PE) for £250)
Note: My budget isn't fix, so if theres a card which really stands out roughly around that price mark, do tell. Also if there is a better 7950 / 660ti that i havent found, feel free to point it out
Thanks in advance for any advice
Val
