Hello everybody, so I've finally acquired the funds to upgrade my system! So far with my rig I'm content with all my components. The only thing left is the graphics solution. A little while back I picked up the Gigabyte Radeon 7850 OC 2gb edition, and overclocked it even further to run at 1050/1200mhz (It runs amazingly cool and stable). Now I'm at the point where I'm wondering if I should upgrade my Mobo and get another 78xx to crossfire? Or sell my old card and pick up a 79XX card. With my budget here are the options I found doable:
Mobo + Crossfire upgrade:
Gigabyte 7850
Gigabyte 990fx Mobo This was the cheapest mobo that I found to offer Dual X16 speeds and support my Cpu
Total Cost: $340
Single High End upgrade:
HD 7970 I probably wouldn't buy this one specifically but this is the cheapest I could find. With a higher budget I'd get the Gigabyte version.
$380-$440
So my goal is to get as much performance I can out of this configs. I'll be playing DX11 games on ultra, I want to be averaging around 90-100 fps on ultra settings and a single monitor setup.
Current setup:
AMD FX 8350 @ 4.8 ghz | Asus M5A97 |Gigabyte AMD Radeon 7850 OC | Mushkin 10666 mhz 8GB |
