In the upcoming months, I'll be able to get some money that I can spend freely, and I plan on getting another GPU.
I already have a Sapphire HD 4870 Vapor-X, now, I'm wondering what graphics card I can get and crossfire with?
I'm looking at something in the 5700-5800 range, even if that's a bit expensive.
Am I able to crossfire with a 4870 and 5770/5850/5870?
Would going in crossfire be worth it if my other PCI Express 2.0 Slot is at x8 and not x16? Or should I get an x2 graphics card?
4870 x2, etc.
Anyways, thanks for the help in advance.
Also, I haven't been able to find many 4870s for sale, so would using a different brand work? As long as the memory on it is the same?
EDIT: I'm also using a 23" monitor at 1920x1080 resolution, as you can expect, my framerates have dropped a bit in more demanding games. So I think crossfire would help.
