There was a link to an Asus 7850 in another thread for ~$240. I was hoping you would get it because I'm interested as well. I think it will soundly beat a GTX 680 across the board. The only real downfall is the potential lack of crossfire profiles, IMO. The Asus cards run cool and quiet so heat and noise should not be factors.

Buy.com has the Asus 7850 for 249.99 if i remember correctly

Yeah Crysis 2 is a hardware headache, similar to your avatar.

I hate how it performs well in some areas but very poorly in others. My framerate fluctuates wildly in that game.

I'm surprised you're not happy with the 7970, though. It's making me think that even with another 7850 I won't be happy. That said, I *never* drop below 30fps on Ultra settings, so Crossfire might double that to 60fps and make me happy. *shrug*

I'm happy with it, I was just saying that I wasn't content with crysis 2 performance. The card performs impressivley I just want more.
