Hey guys,
Its been a while since ive looked at video cards. I currently have 2x Radeon 5850's in crossfire and I have the upgrade itch.
Im looking for a single card that will outperform my current setup or, if its more cost efficient, two lower cards.
On GPU review, the only single cards that can "theoretically" out perform what I have are the newest ones on the table and cost $600+. I know that that is only theoretical, hence why im here asking for real world input.
im looking at spending less than $300, Is it possible to increase performance or should I wait to see what AMD will ship out.
Note: I have always had ATI/AMD: (computer 1: 3d Rage), (computer 2: radeon 7000, 9800 pro, x850XT, X1950, 2800, 3850 (last AGP card), ( Computer 3:5850, 5850 crossfire )
that being said, I am not brand loyal. Whatever is the best out when I buy is what I will get. As you can see, I usually weigh price/performance pretty high.
Also, I did have a tandy before computer 1 but it was dos based, no 3d accelerator)
thanks guys!
