So I already have 1 6850, want to upgrade for BF4 (and also possible 3D bluray viewing through Projector) I was looking at GTX 760 which will run about $250. Other option is to buy another 6850, used, for around $100.
I searched the internet and found something to compare against on techpowerup.com, below are the links, it looks like as far as pfs goes 6850 is same or better than 760, now I know that it's just one criteria, but what is are the advantages on 760? Memory is one I can think of, I was planning to get 4Gb version but even with 2 6850s its will be total of 2GB. Configuration of the rest of the system is below, PSU is 620watt so I am thinking that it should be enough. What about 3d performance? I believe Nvidia has some kind of built in 3D stuff in them, but will 6850 crossfire suffice in terms of pixel rendering and memory? I have never tried SLI or Crossfire, always wanted to do it, so kinda leaning towards it... Also, can BF4 and 3D bluray software utilize crossfire?
System Config
i5 2500k (Sandy bridge)
ASUS P8Z68-V LE (PCI Express 2.0 x16 - 2 (x16, x4))
16 GB DDR3 1600 RAM
SSD - 64GB M4 for OS and 250GB 840 for games
Antec NeoECO C NeoECO 620C 620W
GPU Review
6850 Crossfire
GTX 760
