Hello guys, I have a question about crossfire gpu memory.
Here's the computer's specs:
Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 2.8GHz @ 3.5GHz
Kingston Hyper-X DDR2-800 @ 4-4-4-12
Corsair TX-650
Gigabyte Radeon HD4850 512MB
Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS3R
Resolution: 1920x1080
Now the question is, since the motherboard allows crossfire, would it be good to crossfire and play at that resolution? I bought the HD4850 512MB version before the 1GB version came out. As far as I understand, getting a 1GB version to crossfire with the existing one would be wasted. So, is getting another 512MB version worth it? Will the memory from both cards be shared to form 1GB?
