Let's assume that I have access to four HD5450s and a mother board that supports 4-way CFX. How would that fare against other solo graphics cards? Would I see any significant advantages? Am I stupid for buying four low-end GPUs than buying one mid-spec GPU?

"Let's be hypothetical and assume it's possible even though it's not"

1.) It will still be slower than an HD 5670
2.) It will not fare well against a solo graphics card because you will experience micro stuttering and bad scaling.
3.) The only advantage there is that you can easily run multiple monitors.
4.) Yes, you are stupid for buying four low end GPUs.

It's a good thing it's not possible so consumers will not make a mistake of doing so.

Could've been a little nicer to him about it lol. But yes unfortunately with Radeon that is a prolonging problem with the micro-shuttering, that is why i always recommend people to go to the GTX series and SLI it if they want to run multiple graphics cards.
