dual 6950 or ?

[bastic]

Am running 6950 at the moment.
Just upgraded my screen to 30" and am thinking if I should upgrade my 6950 as well...cheapest way would be to add another 6950 - not sure if my psu would be enough...
or shall I sell it and get lets say 7950 ?

all advice welcome
Thanks

Xfire 6950 should stomp all over the 7950.

Which PSU do you have btw?

Ah, the 600, that's a good PSU!

A 650w PSU would be more than enough for 6950 crossfire.

Most people will massively over estimate the requirements of a PSU, the important thing about PSUs is that you get one from a good company that can supply enough amps.
