Hi guys im gettin a 2nd 6850 soon for realy cheap so i'm going to crossfire it but i need a new motherboard for it..
If i get the ASUS M5A97 R2.0 i can get some faster ram ( 1866 ) with it aswel.
Or i can get a ASUS Sabertooth 990fx with out faster ram
So im asking is the sabertooth 990fx realy worth it over the ASUS M5A97 R2.0 970 chipset? and is it faster with fps etc?
I'm only planning to crossfire 2 cards and not more in the future so i dont need the 3th pci slot
Edit my system atm:
Amd fx 6100 @ 3.9ghz [ scythe nugen rev 3 cpu cooler ]
Msi 760 gsm-e51 fx mobo
4gb patroit 1333 ram
1TB wd black
Sapphire 6850
750w ocz psu
