Guest bifnewman Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 the 460m's aren't worth the upgrade. if you want the best cards that can fit (and WILL work for sure) look at the 6970m's. they can trip the psu in furmark but they don't trip it in any normal games. check out the thread on the 6970m's in the r2.

mw86 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 I couldn't agree more 6970m crossfire rock and they will fit the R2 for sure. +1 Bifnewman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
