Fogel Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 That should be plenty of power to wait for even Green team's new offering let alone ATI. I say 7970 or see what Nvidia brings. If you're going jump, at least make it worth and go past 1 generation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoDG Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 You could always Tri-Fire 6850's. Would be really cheap and they aren't exactly old cards. Or does your motherboard not support Tri-Fire? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black64 Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 If you want to get the 7XXX series then just wait, but I just went to CF 6950's from a 6850 and it is epic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikoDG Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 (edited) you just not helping me save my money T_T the epic just pushed me to add 2 6950 in my cart x_x gonna think about it trough the weekend He said it was epic when he went from a single 6850 to dual 6950's, I wouldn't expect an epic diffence going from dual 6850's to dual 6950's I still think a third 6850's to get you a Tri-Fire set-up would serve you just as well, and cost much less. Then you could wait for NVIDIA's cards, which even if you still go with the 7xxx it should push their prices down. Just my opinion. Personally I'm toughing it out with a single 5850 until I see NVIDIA's cards Edited December 31, 2011 by NikoDG Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I'm toughing it out with a single 5850 until I see NVIDIA's cards the 6850 doesn't do Tri-Fire the 6850 and 6870 where limited to crossfire i dont know if they release one that does but i dont got them. i have a thing against NVIDIA cards but that can change, right now i thinking of the 6950 in CF but time will tell, plannig also on going for a SSD and probably a eyeifiniti setup of 3 x 24" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
potatochobit Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 buying TWO new cards right now is a really stupid idea if you already own a 6850, a second for crossfire is a good move to save money and increase performance but buying two new cards with the new architecture right around the corner is a complete waste Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IVIYTH0S Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 What's your monitor's resolution?? Honestly there's no single card worth switching to because you'd be losing performance in the process... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
yamilegend Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 What's your monitor's resolution?? Honestly there's no single card worth switching to because you'd be losing performance in the process... well right now im using 1920x 1080 but soon im planning in going the eyeifinity course and buying 2 more 24" monitors of the same resolution. truth if i switch to a single one i would lose performance but if i go 6950 CF ???would that be good ? i have seen them as low as 239.99 and on ebay at 200 or less with a little more search. anyway keep up the suggestions i like reading here a lot ^_^.

d6bmg Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 Your present config is very good. Wait for nvidia's next gen card & decide on your buy. The wait should be worthy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
