Upgrading from a 5770?

[FatFishMonster]

hi
i currently i have a XFX 5770
and was wondering if its worth upgrading to a 6850 or 6870 ?
is it worth it or should i stick with my 5770?

What resolution do you game at? Is there any games that you find your 5770 struggling with atm? What's your budget?

BTW your sig is too big

i game at 1920x1080, it can struggle with Crysis and Starcraft 2 sometimes. given that the 5770 is a very good card and has served me well. i was just wondering weather i would see a boost by upgrading to a 6850 or 6870

6850 and 6870 are both good boosts over a 5770.

that's good to know. do they work better with a XFX XXX edition power supply ? judging by the fact that they are made by the same make

Have you thought about crossfiring? You can pick up a used 5770 for £70-80.

My motherboard only has one gpu slot :/ so would mean a whole new motherboard too. I'm not entirely up to speed with crissfiring anyways lol
