Graphics To change or not

Hey guys.
I have Radeon HD 5770 what i was thinking should i get another one to join or get a new one, If i'm to get a new one what would be best up to £250.

Thanks

What do you play and what is the rest of your rig like? You can get some serious horsepower for £250 at the minute. 7950 is the best bet new but if you go second hand you'll be able to pick up a 7970 or 680 for that sort of money.

HOWEVER - new GPUs are in the pipeline for the very near future which might change the game a bit.

 

7950 670 both available for that sort of money.

Both would outperform a 5770 in crossfire. ( 5770 crossfire is single 580 5870 performance wise or 660 660ti / 7850 7870 area )

 

I doubt 5770s in X-fire will trouble a 660 or 7850, even with 100% scaling.

Depending on resolution, a 7870 or 7950 will offer plenty of performance. The 670 is a great card and faster than the 7950, but probably not £60 faster.

As Shirty says, we're not too far away from the 700 series release, so it might be worth holding off a wee while.

 

AMD 7850 7870 7950

Nvidia 660 660ti or 670

All will be a safer bet than a dual card set up and all will be far faster than a HD5770 crossfired anyway.

 

whast the rest of the rig like and especially your PSU?

 

i play mass effects and bf3 cpu is AMD Phenom2 x4 965 3.4

 

Well Mass Effect won't be troubling your existing card, but a 670 would be the logical choice for BF3.

 

thanks might wait to see whats coming out.
