5850 or 2 x 5770?

**oxymoron** · May 24 2010, 11:26

Hello.

My current specs are as follows:

AMD Phenom II 965 @ 3.8Ghz
Corsair DDR3 RAM
GTX260
Samsung F3 HDD
Corsair 520w PSU
24" 1920 x 1200 monitor

My get a little lag when tearing around in Land Rovers and large cities.

How does crossfire scale in arma2?

Anyone own a 5850? How did you overclock it? How well does it run in arma2?

Which upgrade is best?

Better will be to buy 5870 and maybe buy some more power PSU too

Not enough monies for that

From what I have read the 5850 overclocked or 2 x 5770's matches 5870 performance and is within my PSU limits.

one 5770 by msi not the original

i've it and it's a really good graphic card =)

A single more powerful card is always better. That said the game runs like hot butter on moderate settings with my cf 5770s. As long as I don't experience lighting bugs.

5850 works fine here, you CPU is better so should get better performance than me I would say.

Definitely get the 5850, you can always get another one later on.
