Best 6850

[samuelspark]

What's the best 6850? I might crossfire so I need something that's quiet and efficiently moves the air out of the case. (going to have 5 120mm fans).

IMO with 5 120mm fans you should looking for a card with an open design that cools itself well and let the case fans deal with removing the hot air. The HD6850 is quite power efficient and doesn't produce much heat so it shouldn't be a big deal anyway, even if you crossfire.
This would be a good choice;

Asus. I like Asus. Just might go for an all Asus build. LOL

I did.

Good cooling, quiet, power efficient. Apart from not exhausting 100% out of the case, it seemed the best compromise of all 6850s to me. Good card.
