Hi.
So I've recently decided to upgrade my graphics, an amd 6870 XFX, and I had both of these in mind, the amd 7870 2Gb and the 7950 3Gb.
I currently play at a 1680x1050 resolution but would like to upgrade to 1920x1080 later, 1 monitor only, and mostly games like Battlefield 3 (yes my goal is to run it on ultra).
Currently the difference between the 7870 and the 7950 is 50 euros.
Is it worth it?
(Keep in mind that for me money is pretty hard to come by)
EDIT: I've also been told to simply get another 6870 and crossfire and I'd get around the same performance, but I've read online that crossfiring for 1 monitor is a "gimmick", what do you think?
