Can you help me decide?

[kickbackman]

today i have 2 options on my next upgrade. i have the options of:

getting another 6950 to crossfire with and going from 4 up to 8gb of ram

or

getting a 7950

i am just after them maximum power i can get. i know alot of you may say get the 7950 and xfire it later but i am going to be skint for a while as this is my last upgrade i am allowed before we start planning our wedding (why do i have to get married i haven't done anything wrong)so it would seem the extra 6950 is my best choice, but i am worried about microstutter and crossfire not being support on some game. this rig is for playing games i sometimes watch films but i on average speed 8-9 hours a daying playing games (black ops, battlefield 3, anno 2070 and such)

just out of interest dose any one know how well a 7950 would stand up to a pair of 6950's. i have looked around but haven't been able to find anything on this.

thank you for any help.

Are you running an SSD, if not that's where my money would go.

xfire and more ram dude if its my money you know.

if you have SSD already, 6950 and ram would be the best option. If no SSD in current system, then it would be better of getting SSD first

i have looked around quite abit today and have seen alot of ppl saying a 1090t would bottleneck a pair of 6950's has any one had this problem or can shade any light on this for me
