6850x2 definitely. But single cards run with less heat/noise and maybe less compatibility problems as well

If u wish to leverage on CUDA at that price point hunt for GTS 450 or sub $9x GTS 250 floating around? Else $109 HD 5750 lor

Thanks Batuchka for your recommendation. Will let my friend know about it

5830 extreme to 460 se 768mb worth the upgrade?

 

[wtfh4x]

No its not. That may not even be an upgrade.

HD 5870 kind of horsepower and better worth hehe

SFIV not particularly demanding and even a HD 5670/9800GT would give comfortable frames at said res ^^

 

[hikaru99]

Ah, I see. Is the 5830 xtreme a good buy now at around $150? Might want to run Ship Simulator Extremes too.

If still in stocks for $15x then yes - HD 5770s sell more than that

Overclock3D :: Review :: PowerColor HD6870X2 Review :: Conclusion

Throughout testing the HD6870X2 outshone the GTX580, sometimes was up with the GTX590, and also regularly out-performed two HD6870s in Crossfire. This last bit is especially impressive as normally when two GPUs are placed on a single card there are reductions in performance due to power draw issues, or the need to keep the whole thing cool.

All in all the PowerColor HD6870X2 is a great performing card that gives high frame-rates across a raft of games. The huge heat-pipes on the cooler keep everything cooler than we expected and in normal use it's not distractingly noisy although under extreme loading it becomes both hot and loud.

Battery of 17 games tested:

PowerColor HD 6870 X2 2 GB Review | techPowerUp

Now that the results are in, I have to say I am quite pleased with the PowerColor HD 6870 X2. The card is significantly faster than NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 580, especially at 2560x1600. When compared to AMD's lineup, we see roughly equal performance as last generation's HD 5970, at lower power draw and less noise in gaming. HD 6990 and GTX 590 are still significantly faster with +16% and +18%, respectively, but they are also much more expensive.
Like all dual GPU designs the card suffers from increased power consumption in idle, multi-monitor and Blu-ray playback. During 3D gaming, power consumption is reasonable. In terms of noise, the card disappoints with its idle noise - it's the noisiest card we tested in a long time. Under load, noise levels are more
