Which one should i buy? 2x AMD Radeon HD 7870 OC ( 542.00€) or 1x AMD Radeon HD 7970 (600e)

HD 7870 OC is clocked to 1 GHz and has 2 GB of VRAM clocked to 5000 MHz, i would buy two of these so it would make 4 GB of ram.'

HD 7970 is clocked to 1000 MHz and has 6 GB of VRAM clocked to 6000 MHz

why are they so expensive? overhere a 7970 starts at 380eu and 2 7870 at 400eu..

Well it's Finland here, food is expensive, electronics are expensive, internet connection is expensive, everything in here is expensive and every component comes here 2 months after it's released.

And it depends what GPU are you going to buy.Attachment 251862

Which games?

**Kong Ming** · November 19, 2012, 03:04 PM

In about every game.

For example BF3, Crysis 2, Shogun 2, Civilization V, Borderlands 2.......

All these games run better with Nvidia cards. Get a GTX 660 Ti or a 670 instead.

If you had to choose between the two always go with a single gpu configuration.

I think i'll go with the single 7970. Thank you for great answers!

Shogun2 seems to trouble with some crossfire setups. The rest I can't speak for.

No problem mate. Despite the vast improvement in the last few years with multi gpu set ups, there will always be much less hassle if you stick with one gpu.
