Whats up guys,
i just sold my crossfire 6950 setup, for $350 and bought a EVGA Superclocked, Signature 2 GTX 680 for $350 off craigslist. i havent gotten the card yet, i get it on monday. But i am very excited.
The reason i did this is because i was having a very difficult time with Crossfire, it wouldnt work in a lot of games, the drivers kept crashing, games kept freezing, a lot of new games dont support crossfire right away... i figured whats the point of having these 2 cards in my case if i can only use one.
I did a lot of reading reviews and benchmarks and it looks like the 680 is going to out perform my Crossfire setup by about 5%-10%. But again thats not why im doing this, im not looking to get more performance, im looking for more stability.
Also, when i built this computer, my first goal was to make it as quiet as possible, due to the spacing of the pci express slots on my mother board, the bottom card suffocates the top card and its super loud. so this single card is going to be WAY quieter than me current setup. im very excited.
ill update when i get the card, i took some benchmarks to compare the 2 setups. sound and performance...
