Should I upgrade?

[Radec]

Hi guys.
I have a Radeon x-edition 7870 hd card, and I pretty much hate it.
It will buzz so loud with a game like Grid defence and gets up to like 70c

So I'm not sure if I should upgrade, and if so, to what??

I was looking at Ryse: son of rome today, wondering if you needed an expensive card to run a game like that.

Anyway my question is: would you upgrage if you were me?
and if so, should I get two cards, or a half decent solid performance single card?

Any tips would be nice as i know very littlle on gpu's.

A 70C load temperature is nothing to worry about at all, but yes, I would upgrade since a 7870 wouldn't be fast enough for my needs. In your situation I think a faster, single card would be best right now.

What is your budget?

No budget really
