    Upgrade from Asus 6970 2gb

    Hi Guys,

    Looking to upgrade my GPU.

    Currently a Asus 6970 2GB.

    I use it for gaming mostly (BF3, EVE and a few RTS's).

    It will need to run 3 screens possibly 4 if it can.

    Oh, and I do the odd bit of video editing.

    Any suggestions please? Budget upto 400?

    System.

    i7 3.6GHZ
    16GB Ram
    SoundCard
    SSD
    850W PSU

    Thanks.

    From what I understand, Eyefinity is one of the better solutions for a 3+1 setup as you described, which means your 6970 is already quite well placed. If you are desperate to upgrade, you could get a 7970 for little over £300 and get 30-50% more performance. But it is quite a bit more expensive than the 7950 which is also a very decent card. So it depends, how much of that £400 are you ready to spend?

    Performance comparison;

    could also resell the 6970 to help with costs
