So I have owned two dual core GPU's successively, first I bought 4870x2 owned it for about 3-4 years and then bought 6990. I have been very happy with both cards, performance and quality wise. Now both of these cards, at the time, were at a price range of what consider to be "reasonable", but the current generation AMD dualcores are not(between 1200-1600€). I do consider myself to be a "Hardcore" gamer, meaning I want the best performance. Still I am not ready to pay whooping 1600€ for a GPU. I have never had crossfire or SLI configuration.
So here are my questions?
1. Is there a big difference in performance and quality(tech problems), between dual core and crossfire configuration?
2. The prices for dual core cards have soared through the roof, is this permanent or is there some other reason why the current generation dual cores cost so much?
3. Should I wait for next generation GPU's from AMD, NVIDIA and see what happens?
