Ati Crossfire configuration with HD3870 & HD4870

[HaruRyu]

Hi guys & girls of course

I have a question about Ati Crossfire configuration.

Is it possible to have the next configuration

( currently have: )HD3870 with ( want to buy: )HD4870 (both sapphire)

Is this possible or do i have to have twice a HD3870?

Thanks in advance!

ciao

Apparently drivers are not capable of running those two cards in Crossfire configuration.

^ Yep (Edit: to badge). You would be best off running the 4870 alone.

I thought there was a review that has a 3870 xfire setup vs the 4870 but I don't remember who did it or if I am just making it up.

In Anand's review they used the 3870x2 which should give a decent representation of how 3870 xfire would compare to a 4870.
