it would literally only get used for bf3/l4d2 and whatever else we play (tribes, goddamnit!). i use my macpro and mbp for work and all other junk. though if you guys think my quad-core 2.4/4gb (can't OC even if the cpus are good for it, it's some lame hp mobo) I can just pick up a 6970 and be done with it. I know it sounds lame, but i'd really like to save $ where possible until december to then blow on better toys like my new bike and truck so i can have a truck that goes vrooomommomomosdfsdfvroooom like ultros', seeing as ALL i'd use teh machine for is __ blasphamy
i love how everything i picked apparently was garbage hah
I guess I'll just check around for a new gpu and rock what I currently have for the rest.
what would you recommend? 6950/70 (not sure if the 70 performance is that much greater then 50, have to check it out), CF 6870 ($150 each) seem to do way better then 6950 or 70 alone but are older.. or something else?
edit: so ive decided im gonna do whatever would be best/most worth it for $500. if i can get an x6/mobo combo at a good price then i can get 2 6870s at 155/ea ill do it. else I'll hope my 2.4 can handle it good enough with a better, single card (no cf mobo :/). ggggah. only thing with the new mobo/cpu is i can upgrade to a better cpu later on, my mobo is at its max right now and is not cf either... so i still don't know what to do. damnit hah. single better card or cf 6870s and requitements?
