so right now im looking forward to upgrading my computer... i currently plan on swapping out my mobo for one that will support atleast 2 PCie and DDR3 because im getting tired of my DDR2 and it also will give me an opportunity to change up my graphics card configuration so i will be able to either:
A) get another 5770 to crossfire (most likely 100 dollers off ebay)
B) get a new video card from the 6XXX series that could possibly outdo the crossfire and leave for future upgrades...
suggestions?|||The problem with crossfire is twofold. First, the game you are playing has to support crossfire. Secondly, all the performance is determined by the driver you are using. AMD's drivers tend to not be that great with crossfire scaling. This means that even though you have 2 cards, you will not get twice the performance. It's still a nice increase, but I would go for 1 good card over 2 decent cards in Crossfire any day. You never have to worry about games not running well on it, plus you can crossfire it later if you really need more performance.|||I would definitely go for the Radeon HD 6950 card. It has 2GB DDR3 Memory and will be supported if you go ahead and do the crossfire with a second one. Should make for a fast frame rate gamer.
Hope this helps,

2 of them is overkill unless you're running 3 monitors all at 1920x1080 you dont really need crossfire at this point
so yeah go for the 6XXX series i recommend an XFX card great company awesome customer support and i got a 30 dollar mail in rebate :)
