Ok, maybe I should have expanded on why I am asking the question.
I have an XFX5870.
I fancy a little upgrade and can either spend £190 or so getting another second hand 5870, or even £234.99 for a new one at OcUK.
Or, I can flog my 5870 for about £190 or so and get a second hand 5970 for about £275.
Crossfire will cost me £190 - £234.99.
A 5970 will cost me £100 max.
I don't want to go chucking lots of money about and I know the high end 6 series cards are out soon as well but think either of the above option are more than capable for any games out in 2011.
I am veering towards a 5970 purely due to the cost that I can obtain one.
Hey, Yeah im in the same boat, Im waiting till the new cards come out then ill decide on a 5870 cf 5970 or a 6970 depending on price. getting another 2 monitors which are the same as yours
Cheers for the answers chaps. Will hold on for a while till the high end 6*** cards come out as there should be more in the second hand market after then.
