So I've been wanting to do something with my video card since I can't max out BF3 with frame rates I like.
I was waiting for the 7xxx cards to come out.
Now should I buy a used 5870 for probably around $150 and go crossfire with the one I have now or should I buy the new 7970?
5870
-Pros
*cheaper
*never goes over 65c temps (I hate cards that run hot)
-Cons
*used
7970
-Pros
*single card
-Cons
*balls more $$$
What would be stronger? a.k.a better frame rates.
