You are being understood fine csou. If you are running at 1920x1200 or (1080) resolution then a 1GB card is more than adequate. The only time to think of upgrading to 2GB is if you plan to use eyefinity resolutions.

Honestly, it would be a false economy to spend any money on an extra 5750. Sell your current one on Ebay and add the money from that to the money you planned to spend for the extra 5750 and get a 1GB HD6950 or 560Ti.

Again please be sure your PC case has enough room for a HD6950, they are quite long cards. To be honest I would imagine you should be good to go, but it is best ot be sure.

Thank you very much for your time. I appreciate it! My pc case is this
CASE COOLERMASTER RC690 PURE BLACK. I really don't know if the graphics card you mention could fit there but I will go to pc store and ask about it. I will probably purchase my new card from there and what the heck, they will know the answer to the problem. Your solution seems quite logical to me, but to be honest i purchased the graphics card in July and it is quite inconvenient for me to change it in less than a year! Anyhow see the specs of my pc case and if you have a further comment, please write it down.

That case will take any card on the market, it's a good case.

Unfortunately with PC hardware, especially GPUs a year is a long time. The 5750 even a year ago was nowhere near top of the line. Using UK prices it would cost £80 to purchase an extre 5750 from a high street store. For me that would be half the price towards a good higher end GPU. You would also have the benefit of not having to mess with Crossfire. For example I have 2X HD6970 cards and when Crossfire works they are amazing, but since I play mostly sims the Crossfire ability is rarely utilised. If I could get a single GPU that was 40% faster than one single HD6970 and had eyefinity capability I would purchase it in an instant.

Good luck with whatever card you decide to purchase.

May I ask what PSU you're using? Must be a bit of a beast to handle that load.

Not really, it's a Corsair Professional Series Gold AX750.

Sorry, I misread your post. I thought you had 2x6990's.
