    Video card(s) suggestion (upgrading)

    So I am currently running 2 ati 5870's in crossfire and I am wondering how they would compare in performance to 1 GeForce GTX 760?

    Thanks ahead of time!

    go to GPUreview.com
    you an sim 2 5870s vs 1 670(they dont have 760 for sim yet). the 670 is about 5% better than a 760.

    on this site you can choose to crossfire and you can even see the effects of an overclocked card.

    one thing to note is that a motherboard that has 16 PCIe lanes will only run 2 cards as 8x and 8x (some top end boards can do more) if your board is of the 16 lanes type crossfire and SLI loose 2.5%-5% vs boards that support full 16x and 16x lanes

    2 5870's would be a bit faster than a gtx 760. You really have no reason to upgrade unless you are having problems with crossfire or you just want to save on your electric bill lol.

    ya i just looked it up and it is super close assuming that the game your running takes full advantage of the crossfire

    Yeah, the game(s) I play fully utilize crossfire (there are ALWAYS issues with crossfire, lol). So I guess there really is no reason to upgrade! Awesome guys, thanks so much. =D
