I am building my first PC. I am learning some new things as I go. I realize this is likely a noob-ish question, but here goes:
Is there a performance difference between having 2 single GPU video cards with 1G RAM each in SLI/Crossfire vs. having 1 dual GPU card with 2G RAM on the one card.
For example:
Two Radeon 4850 cards with 1gig RAM each
vs
One Radeon 4850x2 card with 2gig RAM
I imagine the 2 card setup would give a performance boost having 2 slots to draw from?
