No Multi GPU Setup is needed for Full HD Gaming 1080p.

Hey Jas u have 6950 1gb so have you updated to catalyst 11.6 or 11.8b. There is 10-20% Improvement In Many Games Like Crysis & Far Cry,etc
AMD Catalyst 11.6 Windows 7 Driver Analysis :: TweakTown USA Edition

AMD Catalystâ„¢ Control Center / AMD Visionâ„¢ Engine Control Center 11.8 Driver Preview for Windows 7 64-Bit Edition
I beg to differ :D

HIS Radeon 6770 ICEQX Turbo Crossfire review
I don't understand why many people mock CF/SLI, seriously it no headache,
ONCE in a while a game gives problem with CF/SLI
Its only through CF/SLI you can unlock true VFM solutions

@JS
I am not suggesting to replace 6950, I only want to discuss it as an Alternative solution
In the end its the buyers choice :)

Re: PC Buying Guide - July 2011

Here is Guru3D's power supply recommendation:

Radeon HD 6770 1GB - On your average system the card requires you to have a 450 Watt power supply unit.
Radeon HD 6770 1GB x2 (Crossfire) - On your average system the card requires you to have a 600 Watt power supply unit.

Then We Have To Kick FSP SAGA II 500W Out. I'm still not satisfied with crossfire for low budget rigs.

After Some Time When Someone With Two 6770 In Crossfire Want's To Upgrade What He Will Do Sell his both card for 2k.No First Go Single GPU Then In Future We Could Buy Another Card For Cheap Prices.

Re: PC Buying Guide - July 2011

Firstly Most Mobos suggested in sub 40-50k categories do not support cf/sli
Adding second card makes sense only when it is done before the next series comes.
If you add second card after that it makes little sense. (thanks to cilus i understood that)

The adding second card after the next series is launched makes sense only for currently high budget cards.

When 6950 is more more more than enough for gaming at 1080p 4XAA 16XAF Then Why You Want To Go Crossfire ?

ha ha :grin:, that gave a serious grin on ma face

@ GWL
I will like to cut one of the 'more' from your comment or infact 2 :D

I think at street price you can manage to get the 6770 @ 6.5k given you are buying two @ 13k, you can get a 6950 for that price

Performance wise the 6770 CF perform better/very very close than MSI R6950 Twin Frozr III/OC
at 15.8K

Its just for the sake of better performance/INR which matters the most to me.
If I have a budget I try to sink as much performance I can in it

Re: PC Buying Guide - July 2011

580 sli at what resolution?

1680x1050. And I actually manage to push my GPUs to their limits in some games.

I agree with Skud and Omi.

I dont know why you say single GPU is enough Mr. Geek, but even 1680x1050 manages to push high-end cards.With 3D, multi-gpu makes even more sense.

I am not talking about 3+ GPUs, but only 2 GPUs. At 1080p one should get at least a pair of 6870s in CF or equivalent.

Re: PC Buying Guide - July 2011

I also think that in 40-60k or sub 70k budgets
CF/SLI needs to be implemented, That gives more robust solutions than most single cards at the same cost or even lower cost

I don't want to crate controversies but the 6770 CF config which I posted
will stand very close to the 70k rig posted at the start of this thread.

IMO, we need to calculate exactly how much power we need.
asingh's rig is the perfect example, he is running 4890CF in a 650W supply
we need to get the right psu, and not to overspend on that part getting 850W psu's when they are not needed

Re: PC Buying Guide - July 2011

Sure, that will be good. Also mention the price difference.
The motherboard will change too, someone who doesn't want to CF should not spend the extra 1.5 to 2k there so mention that too
We don't want to force anybody to CF/SLI, let the benchmarks/cost decide it for them
I will post some high end CF/SLI config too

Better will be to make single GPU setups and make necessary changes for multi-GPU as optional changes/upgrades (similar to how you put add-ons as optional upgrades).
