GPU's

[J0shB]

Hi guys,
Just been told that my next upgrade for my pc is a new gpu and psu. Now i have a little question, what would give me more bang for buck? one single sapphire 3gb dual-x 7950 or crossfire sapphire 7850 2gb?

Also what PSU would you reccomend? Either this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-153-AN or this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-054-CS ? Thanks

EDIT: That link doesnt work, basically its just a tx850m from corsair.

No linking to competitors please...

You need to remove the competitor links, that's a big no no here bud

Sorry, i'm new to this forum, i'll get the link up now.

Better? How does it sound?

id go with a single 7950 no point spending £300 on two 7850s it wont do anything.
Are you going with 1080p?

I'd say a single 7950 is the better option.

Currently im running 728 but hopefully a better monitor will be coming after the gpu and psu. Looks like i'm going for the sapphire 7950 then, what psu do you recconmend?

Thanks, Josh.

PSU which supports x-fire:

If you want to be certain about having enough power plus whatever to spare:

Just get the 7950. The CPU would bottleneck CF7850 to no faster than 7950 anyway where it counts (the most intensive fight scenes etc) anyway.

Wait before you buy the GPU though, as it will be coming with a couple of free games very soon. Stay away from XFX because I have read a few horror stories recently about RMA problems.
