i wanna build a computer with ati radeon hd 5770 crossfired
but i dont know if its really worth the money.
especially with the games i play
css, tf2, mw2.
i just wanna know if its worth the money or just stick with one gpu.

TBH, I'd go for a really nice powerful single GPU. Although, if you really have the money, go for it.

 

[ryansmile]

do you have any suggestions for pci e 2.0 x16

5770 would be a great single card.

If you have a Crossfire board, you could just wait a few months and buy another one really cheap, and it'll be that much more future proof.

 

[ryansmile]

yeah i was thinking about doing that.
i just dont wanna waste my money ya know?
XD

 

[shadows5631]

Well it wouldn't be a waste when a couple of new games come out and whatnot. But, for those games now, a 5770 will probably average over 100fps in all of them.

 

[ryansmile]

danggg.
i should deffinitly get it
seeing how im averaging twenty fps on css.
XD

 

[shadows5631]

What CPU do you have?

If you wait to long you won't be able to get the exact same card you bought the first time.

I have the Radeon 4890 and I usually get 299fps in CSS with all graphics settings maxed. If there is A LOT of steam effects going on I usually average 180fps

 

[ryansmile]

that sounds like a really good card.. =P
i just dont wanna spend too much money on a game like css.
i might get mw2 for pc
but its questionable.

 

[ryansmile]

i dont have a good one atm
but im gonna save up to get a new intel i7 quad core.
