twig05 Posted September 25, 2010 Posted September 25, 2010 I am thinking about upgrading to DX11 for DCS A10 and wanted your thoughts on whether to get a single HD 5850 or crossfire two HD 5750s. I really only play flight sims and my monitor maxes out at 1600 x 900. My current setup: AMD 965 BE @ 3.8 GHz Gigabyte GA-890FXA-UD5 4GB OCZ BE 1600 @ 8-8-8-24 HIS 512 MB HD 4850 Kingwin 610W PSU WD Black 750GB HDD I found a few articles online which compare the two setups, one being: http://www.guru3d.com/article/radeon-hd-5750-review-crossfirex/1 however, I don't play any of those games so I am not really sure what the scaling effect will be for DCS. For the most part it seems the crossfire performs at least as well as the 5850 and sometimes significantly better. In this article, http://www.legitreviews.com/article/1176/1/, it shows the 5750xfire performing better than the 5870! Does anybody have any exprience with crossfire scaling on Black Shark? Thanks for your help! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AMD 965 BE @ 3.8 GHz | Gigabyte GA-890FX-UD5 | Gigabyte Radeon HD 6870 | 4 GB OCZ BE PC3 12800 | 750 GB WD Black HDD | Antec 902 Case | Zalman CPU cooler | Kingwin 610W PSU | Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS | TrackIR 4 | Saitek Pro Flight pedals
Mustang Posted September 25, 2010 Posted September 25, 2010 I'd say a single 5850, since crossfire or SLI seems to be a pointless with DCS series sims.
