xfire question

had a lok through the FAQ but couldnt see anything!

would prob guess that noone stupid enough to ask this question but here i go!

i have a 3870 powercolour XT 512mb card but recently for some reason OCUK took this card from their site.

however there is still a X2 version of this card.

from what i read this would not work in xfire but i just wanted to double check basically. bacause both cards would be the same clock speed etc.

and because they would both be sitting in the X16 lanes rather than the x8 lanes surely it could work???

what you guys think? and if this wouldnt work what would be better buying 2 more single versions of the card for tri xfire or just buying a single X2 version.

reason im not just buying a 4870 is because of money so im buying the best that i can afford at the moment which around 200/300 a month on computer parts.

to help you get a grasp i will deffinatly be buying DEADSPACE when it comes out because i love those types of games and i want to be able to play it at maximum settings. i have a quad core amd 9850 phenom 8gb of ram and a good asus mobo that supports quad XFIRE.

Overclockers isnt the only UK site you know
What about this as an option http://www.ebuyer.com/product/148929 or if you want or have room for a dual slot cooler option try this http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Com [...] ctId=30170
