[QUOTE=Teh Kitteh;31610817][url]http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/ATI/Radeon_HD_6850_CrossFire/1.html[/url] This article shows that dual 6850's top the GTX580, and for the same price, I think the Dual 6850's are a better deal. [editline]8th August 2011[/editline] Well yeah, but buying 2 of them would cost alot wouldn't it? More performance for the same price is a better deal imo.[/QUOTE]Of course it will 2v1. And yeah, it would cost more but still would smash 6850's. It's always wiser to go to 1 single powerful card.
Getting a single GTX 570 now would be worth the investment since later on you can get a second one forSLI. Getting two 6850s might seem like a somewhat better deal now but really isn't when down the road you can have SLI GTX 570s.

If he is getting a good PSU and a mobo with 2 PCI 2.0 slots then it might be a good choice to get the dual setup. And yeah 2 570 would fucking kick ass. I don't think OP has that kinda money.

Nvidia makes good cards, I totally agree.

[QUOTE=Teh Kitteh;31611597]How did I backtrack?[/QUOTE]You agreed that 1 580 is best down the road. That's how.
I just ordered a 6970 this morning, how strange. Oh and a fun tale, I bought it off overclockers and saved for weeks, when the card total came together with VAT and packaging I was one fucking penny off in my account :v: So I had to cash in a £5 note at the bank.

Hats off to you my competitor.
