Hi all,
I'm in the process of buying parts for my new system build. I originally planned on getting an ASUS EAH5850 DIRECTCU/2DIS/1GD5 but since the 6850 and 6870 have come out I'm rethinking my decision. I normally do not overclock either CPU or GPU, but I could in the future.
This is what I'm considering:
ASUS EAH5850 DIRECTCU/2DIS/1GD5
ASUS EAH6850 /2DI2S/1GD5
Any brand of the HD 6870
I count flight sims and first person shooters among my gaming as the most graphic intensive.
What do you all think?
Mike
