Hello All!

I am looking to by one or two video cards. I was running two Sapphire 5830s but found someone to buy them at a good price so thought I would upgrade.

I'm looking to spend $$300-$350 for what ever would give me the best bang for the dollar, whether that be a single card, or a crossfire with two cards. I am leaning towards AMD cards especially if I get a duel card setup as I think my MB is only able to crossfire and not SLI. But if a single card is more recommended then I would be ok with an NVIDIA card.

I have a 23in 1080P Samsung LED rear lit monitor. I also want to hook this up to my old CRT Projection TV which is widescreen and high def (720P/1080i). And will play games like WOW, Crysis, and, Skyrim.

My system setup right now is:

AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition Thuban 3.2GHz Socket AM3
GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 AM3+ AMD 990FX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0
Seagate Barracuda ST31000524AS 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit - OEM
CORSAIR Vengeance 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
COOLER MASTER GX Series RS750 750W ATX12V v2.31 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply
NZXT GAMMA Classic Series GAMA-001BK Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case (I love this case )

The Radeon HD 7870 is in your price range, very good card. Stay away from PowerColor and you should be fine.

Looks like a good way to go.

Price wise is it better to do that single card or go with lower priced card and double them up?

This would put me a little over budget but saw this in WOOT.com

The 6950x2 or the 7870 x1

I am sorry, I was pulled away today and could not get to you. Hopefully tomorrow, if someone does not answer your question first.

Bump My tower is sitting lifeless on my desk lol

I'm starting to like the speed on those 7870 GHz additions though...
