Graphics Card Upgrade

[Tim2100]

Hi

I currently have 2x Sapphire HD 4870 512MB running in Crossfire.

If I upgrade to a GTX660, will I notice a vast difference. The GPU Compare tools suggest there won't be a huge upgrade.

If the upgrade is worthwhile is it then worth spending an additional £80 to go for a GTX 660 ti?

ok

thinking of a Asus 3Gb 7950 DirectCU II and a 27" IPS LED Monitor to go with it.

Success?

I would prefer NVidia as I have an nice Nvidia branded case, however the evidence seems overwhelming to go with AMD rather than NVidia.

+1 for a 7870xt (tahiti chip) I picked one up to upgrade from 2x 1gb 5770's and it plays everything I want at max detail @1080.

I noticed a big improvement due to having more grunt and 2gb of vram, games like BF3 are using about 1750mb on ultra.

Thanks Chid76, Thats one thing I needed to know, I thought that having Crossfire two cards would give me pretty decent performance, so I'm worried that I will spend £200 and have nothing to show for it.

Unfortunatly the local supplier I looked at suddenly didn't have the stock to pick up today, so back to the drawing board on the hunt for a decent priced deal with the bits i want.
