just purchased the gigabyte X48-DS5 motherboard and will be running two 4870s in crossfire. My questions is my current HD4870 is a sapphire. Unfortunately the same model doesn't seem to exist anymore 100243L. Its a 512mb card, does it make any sense to pair it with the 4870 1gig card (will it even benefit from the extra video memory in crossfire?) or just get a similar 512mb card to crossfire it with.
And no I didn't want to spend the extra cash for an i7 at this point.
