I've been looking to up my graphics card, or buy a second one and crossfire.
But I have no idea what to look for in them, and just recently 'upgraded' to what I think may be a slightly lesser product. I'm looking for performance playing video games mostly (BF3, GW2, Skyrim... etc.)
Here's what I HAD:
XFX - AMD Radeon HD 6770 1GB DDR5 PCI Express 2.1 Graphics Card
Here's what I BOUGHT:
XFX - Core Edition AMD Radeon HD 7750 2GB DDR3 PCI Express 3.0 Graphics Card
It seems like the old one is better, at least that is what general internet research and the windows experience rating tells me.
The only 'problem' is that my mobo is only DDR3 compatible. Clearly it's downclocking the card to work.
This is my motherboard: ASROCK 970 EXTREME 4 AM3 ATX
Other specs:
16gb DDR3 1333 ram
AMD Phenom II X4 963 Processor 3.4GHZ
So what do you think? Is there some third option I should be looking at?
