Hi,
I have a Gigabyte P55 UD6 and currently have a Gigabyte HD5870. I am considering putting in another GPU and running 2 HD5870's in Crossfire, however I note that the speed of one card is 16 x and the speed of 2 cards drops to 8 x. Is there any real benefit in getting the additional card? Are 2 cards running at 8 x better than 1 running at 16x?
Cheers.
