« on: February 06, 2010, 01:02:50 pm »If you're american and you have $150... go to www.newegg.com - I second an ati 5750 as the best in that price range. I'd link you to a specific one but I'm posting from my phone.
I'm updating one of my media servers soon and I'm going to get a 5770. When it comes time to upgrade my main desktop I'm going to steal the 5770 from the server and crossfire a second 5770 with it in my desktop. Desktop currently has a sapphire ati 4850 X2 single card in it.
It's kind of retardly awesome and ridculous how two 5770s at $175 each outperform all of nvidia and ati's best single cards except for the 5970, which is a 5870 X2 essentially, and that is almost $600.
Ooh watch out, xfire can be a big ol' mess sometimes. Nonetheless, two 5770s is definitely a steal if you have the PSU and the mobo for it. And make damn sure you've got good cooling or else you could have a problem.
