Which graphic card to get for gaming?

[them16master]

yes i know, but it will work and it spares him a lot of money (like 50 euros) and i get money to buy my new card, but 1 more question about my card what's the different between the hd 6870 and 6850? cause the 6850 is a lot of cheaper, and how to sli a card? and yes its compatible with SLI, and do i have to wait for a price drop maybe?

SLI is just 2 of the same cards working together. And the 6870 performs a lot better than the 6850. I would rather pay extra for it. You can wait for price drop if you want. It depends on when you want your system.

Its 2 cards working connected for better performance (i personally dont like this id rather get 1 strong card)... Models have to have first 2 numbers same(case with Xfire), in SLI GPUs have to be the same...

[them16master]

and that's probably not the case tnx! and what is crossfire? is it the same?

Pmuch. SLI is for Nvidia cards Xfire is for AMD cards

so if you let an geforce gt 220 and a radeon hd 6870 work together, will it improve my stats?

[reaper15058832]

Only way those cards can work together, is if the gt 220 is a dedicated physx card....and I don't think that card will do to good in physx....

so i'm gonna sell that piece of crap xD but a lot of people say that this card really suck and it's only good for minecraft, but it isn't that bad i suppose

well, i bought radeon HD 6870 Hawk and i think its worth of money. i gave up looking intel's or GeForce's component's since their price is much higher than amd/ati and amd/ati is more powerful as i see it.... your choice. and yes, i think you need new processor since these new graphic gards seriously need some superpowers :3
