HD5870 + Colling

and, i found some benches that say HD5870 has better framerates.
also, look at the price

2x HD5770 = £264.48
1x HD5870 = £298.99

i can manage £38 more quid
plus some extra cooling, cuz fans not included with case.

my dad is paying for windows 7 ultimate.

one more thing guys, i need a psu that supports crossfirex with 2x 6pin connectors. i found this but it only has an 8 pin and a 6pin.

thanks,


Dom

No mate, it has two 6 pin adapters:

- 1 x 20/24-pin ATX
- 1 x 8-pin CPU
- 1 x 4-pin CPU
- 1 x 6-pin PCI-E
- 1 x 6+2-pin PCI-E
- 4 x Peripheral
- 2 x Floppy
- 6 x SATA

The 6+2 just means that you can either use that plug as a 6 pin or an 8 pin. The +2 are just two pins that can 'disconnect' from the rest of the plug.
