I'm moving to a 15 2500k system and upgrading to a 1980x1200 screen
(or 1980x1080 if, as it seems, there's very very little at a decent price that's not 1080p...
)
I've been looking at the 6950 Toxic edition, as it seems most, if not all, can be unlocked whilst the opportunity to unlock other 6950s seems to have passed.
Given that the Sapphire can be had for about £50 cheaper than the 6970
Thing is, I could just add another 4870 to the system. For £100 less than the 6950.
But I've heard Crossfire isn't just up to scratch on lower powered cards (micro stuttering?) and am not convinced my PSU (A Corsair HX 620w I'm really happy with) could power both?
