Guys,
Looking at doing either of these two options, which is better performance and by how much?
Option 1 - "Advantage, much less $$"
(2) AFX 5830's in Crosfire - Performance Difference?
Option 2 - "Advantage 1 card - better cooling and power by having 1 card in case"
(1) Sapphire 5970 4GB Toxic - Oh God is this card Sick - Performance Difference?
or
(1) AFX 5970 4GB Black Edition - Difference in performance between Sapphire and Option1?
I know there is a big difference in $$ between option 1 and option 2 - that's my point, is the performance difference huge, if so I will go with one of the cards from Option 2. If not, I can save a lot of money, go with option 1 and wait until the 6000 series comes out and upgrade my rig later. But since I only have 2 8800GTX's right now I can't do surround gaming and I'd like to while I wait until the new gpus come out.
Thanks,
DC
