I'm thinking about upgrading my video card setup. And I'm looking for some opinions.
I'm currently using an XFX Radeon HD 7850 (1GB Core Edition). For 130ish bucks I can double up and crossfire it. Or for around 200ish I can get a Radeon R9 270X.
My current game list includes Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas, NBA 2k14, Skyrim, Borderlands 2, Battlefield 3 (and possibly 4 soon), TMNT: Out of the Shadows, and Star Wars: The Old Republic.
To date I have zero experience with Crossfire or SLI.
So what do you think? Crossfire the 7850 or pull it out and put in a 270X?
(note: no, I'm not going Intel or nVidia.)
Other system stats:
AMD FX-4350 4.2GHz
cooled by a Corsair H80i water cooler
Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3
4gb (soon to be 8) g.skill DDR3
Kingwin 750w Modular PSU
all stuffed in a Coolermaster Storm Scout II case
