5770 in xfire or 5850?

[maz1989]

they are very similar in price but the 5770 (£50ish more) is so nice in xfire! which would you prefer?

Get the 5850, IMO a single card at 60fps is smoother than x2 at 80fps......

I've got a 4870x2, but I think I'll go single GPU next time. You can't really buy a game on release day as its nearly a cert that it won't have a crossfire profile, so with single GPU that don't matter so much.

Deffo agree with the above, buy the best single GPU card you can afford, then should you want to , you can always upgrade at a later date by adding a 2nd in Xfire

I'd also go the single card route with the option to xfire later.
