im building an i7 gaming rig and i was wondering what would be the best to get, I was planning to upgrade to crossfire/sli in the future, so i would like to know what would be the best plan for right now.
I know the core i7 is very good at multi gpus, but would i see a huge performance increase from the 4850cf to the 4870 1gb, i can not find any good information on the 2 of those against eachother.
I have also read that the 4870 1gb is really a hit or miss depending on what game you are playing and how much vram it uses. but wouldnt that be similar to a hit or miss depending on if the game uses crossfirex or not as well?
anyways my gpu budget is around 300 give or take 50, and the screen res is 1900x1200
