New VGA card or Xfire

[berserk]

I currently have an HD 5770 and I was thinking of either getting an other and Xfire them or get a new card. However I don't want to spend a lot maybe £100 max.

Would a card in the £100 region be better then the HD 5770 Xfire? Thanks in advance.

For the money I would say go Crossfire since you can get this;

If you only want to spend £100 then I would imagine your only option would be to go Xfire..

I'd bite the bullet and get a 6950

You'd be getting more than double the FPS

I guess that 6950 is the 1GB version.

Get a 5850 for £107 and sell your old card.

No.

This is the comparison with the 1GB version:

This is the comparison between the 6950 1GB & 2GB:

If you buy a 6950 2GB revision 1 it can be flashed to unlock the extra processing cores.

This. 5770 XF is only a little better than a 5870, so this will give you a fair bit extra performance (not quite as much as XFire though), but will cost you ~£60 after you've sold your old card - which can't really be beaten...
