CROSSFIRE , not SLI sorry
i want to run every game at its best with the best fps, so im intending to buy ATI4870 to run both with my current ATI4850
my question is: do you recommend it ? will i get a big performance difference ?
when both are installed together, will the 4870 perform as it should run or it will run like 4850 ? (like downward compatibility )

if im not mistaken u cant run a 4870 with a 4850 xfire =/
if u could i wouldnt expect it to be any good due to the fact that they arent equal..

i suggest going with another 4850 and xfire them. from the reviews ive read u shouldnt have any probs playing games at there best.

Yup, I second that b3owulf. You can't xfire a 4870 and 4850. I've got a single 4850, with a E8400, and it kicks butt! Crysis plays great on high settings too. Get another 4850 xfire it, and you'll be saving money!

You better off with another HD4850. That would bring you above the 280 GTX with 5 - 10 percent in terms of performance.
