    Which one is better for gaming experience GTX 570 SLI or Radeon 6970 Crossfire

    I am planning to buy a new video card and I am a bit confused on which one to go for. I was just looking for some cards and found out that there are two options with me right now. Those are GTX 570 SLI or Radeon 6970 Crossfire. So does anyone know the answer for this? I am looking for an upgrade over my GTX 280s which currently I am using and the price is similar for both AMD and Nvidia. So it would be very nice if someone helps me out on this issue.

    I had a look at problem and I do feel that it all depend on the way you will use the cards. I mean to say that it will depend on the type of games you play. If you play games such as UT2004, Half Life 2 and CSS then you can even go with some other card but with games such as Crysis, Bad Company 2, Quake 4 you will need such type of cards. I feel that you need SLI or crossfire for that reason. So I guess there is no harm if you go for any one the options.

    I you are going to choose any one between these two then in that case the Radeon 6970 Crossfire might do slightly better due memory .The only difference for you is likely to be the features on the cards. The Radeon 6970 Crossfire have better AA options especially if you play games that do have good AA .However talking about the Geforces then they don’t have a great AA and that is their drawback. I would always look for better AA as my preference is strongly for the better AA.SO for me your option should be Radeon 6970 Crossfire.

    I would give you one more option if you want. What you can do is that you could save some amount of money and get a pair of 6950’s. So even those are good and will be useful for you to play various action games. But this is an option if you want but two cards. I play games at 2560x1600 with one Radeon 6970 Crossfire and I don't find myself wanting a second card. So if you want to go for a single card then you might go for it and then move on from there.

    I have two 6950’s at 2500x1600 and performance and visual effect is fantastic using 4xEQ with edge-detect filter. The single card is fine for 1080P, but if you want to apply the high-end graphics options at 1600P like the edge detect or super sampling and also the higher AA levels then you definitely need two cards. So actually it’s all up to you to go for a single card or a dual card. But my suggestion would be to go for dual one for the reasons that I have above.

    Thank you for your solutions and feedback. I went through all the solutions and I feel that now I am a cleared on which one to go for. I think that I’ll go for the Radeon 6970 Crossfire rather than going for GTX 570 SLI. Even for me having a better AA is the preference. Also talking about the dual card I would rather prefer going for single one itself. I don’t think that going for two cards will be a good option. So I would once again like to thank you for all you feedback and suggestions that you have given.
