Hello I just got back my second ASUS 7850 from RMA and am having problems with Crossfire. Before I upgraded to 7850's I was running CF 6870's with no problems (except for one card dying leading to the upgrade from ASUS). Without CF games run great, once I turn CF on the in-game screens seem to...

One of my CF 6870 1GB cards stopped working so through the RMA process they have offered be a 7850 2GB to replace it. I know I cannot CF a 7850 with a 6870 but would it be worthwhile to just take the 7850 for now and grab another one on sale down the line or try and see if they can get another...
