I currently have (2) 4870s in CF and I’ve been unhappy with their performance for some time now. I’d like to be able to max out F.E.A.R. 3 and Dead Space 2 at 1920x1080 and run BF3 with close to max settings. Obviously I don't want to dip below 30 fps.
I want to keep it under $350 so my choices are between an HD6950 (2GB), HD6970, GTX560ti (2GB) or GTX570, with consideration going toward a crossfire setup with two HD6850s. I mention the less expensive 6950 and 560ti because if they will accomplish what I want, I will settle for one of those.
I’m leery of a CF setup because my 4870 CF setup has been a bit of a headache (sometimes literally), but the 6850 CF setup is very tempting.
Relevant System Specs:
-CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 955
-Mobo: Asus Crosshair III Formula (no SLI)
-RAM: 8GB @ 1600
-PSU: Corsair HX750
-OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
-Rez: 1920 x 1080
Thanks for any and all help!
