Dilemma which configuration.

[ZodiarK]

I want opinions if you don't mind i have the upgrade itch even if it might seem pointless.

Currently rocking a 5970.

ive been offered 3 x 6950 at trade prices via my friend at ocuk for around £639

or i want to get 2 x evga sc/or non sc 570's around £620

what are your thoughts? i am a total evga fanboy btw ...

regards Aaron

wow!

personally the two 570's if your planning to run them in one system as i believe triple 6950s would be pointless...

I would say the 570's are your best bet, Im sure SLI scales better than Crossfire, Especially 2 way.

But if your gaming at cinema screen resolution, 6950's may be the way to go.

thanks for your input i was considering the tri-fire option as they were at such a good price they are HIS which look awful tbf my board is the rampage II extreme so i believe they would run at 16/8/8, but these would be in the "oven as ttl would say 800d" so practically your right the 570's would be more suitable.

Crossfire scales better than SLI. Proven fact. Trifire sucks donkey scrotes. If you want to know why read this.

A pair of 570s would be more than you could ever need.

thanks matey i was only looking at the tri-fire 6950 because of the good price at heart i want the evga 570's.

any more opinions are welcome

Well tri fire is good for one thing. Benchmarks. Don't expect to game on them cos it ain't gonna happen. But yeah, 570 FTW imo.
