Hello all,

I have a 4870 card in my computer and I need to consider how I should get some more punch in the Graphics area.

Is it even an option (or possibility for that matter) to mix 4XXX series with the 5XXX series? I do understand that the optimal would be to have two identical ones of course, but would like to get the benefit from the directX 11. So yes, I guess I could just add a second 4870 but I would like a more modern card I guess.

As you understand, I'm a gamer much more that hardware guy and need to be enlighten in my lacking technical knowledge. =)

Thanks,
