[lanedutch]

Hey guys, im just trying to figure out if i should go with Dual 5830s in crossfire or a single 5850 or maybe even a 5870.

Have you already got crossfire mobo and PSU? If yes, it seems worth to consider. but if need to upgrade your mobo and PSU to do so, I do think 5870 1GB is the way to go

5870 for sure

Grab a 5870 or 5850. less power consumption and no need to deal with dual gpu issues (flickering with dual monitors, crossfire not working in games, etc)

5850 is where it is at as far as price/performance.

5850 is where it is at as far as price/performance.

i agree,and like mentioned you wont have crossfire issues and games not supporting xfire.
