Crossfire 6870 vs ....

The VTX is pretty much back to what it was before.

Thanks for the DSR info. As i said though i have cancelled the order now anyway.

I hate you guys, I want a 7870 now...

Sorry if I peed on your bonfire a bit there mate, but I am only basing it on my experience with CF6870@1080. BF3 was a slideshow sometimes on high (intense action) and unplayable at ultra. I'd hate for you to waste your money and be disappointed. You can get about 90-100 for your current GPU so that should contribute nicely to a new card. Good luck.

No problem, thanks for the advice.

I do like the idea of crossfiring mid-range cards, but i think you are right that it is silly to do it with 1GB cards at the mo.

OK, after reading the 7850 OC thread I have just ordered one, it should be here tomorrow.

Will now just have to resist the urge to buy a second one for crossfire in a week and a halfs time...

In all fairness i could do ultra on CF 6850's providing there was no aa ... that's what killed it.

No need to resist... feel free
