Hd4890 vs 2 hd5670

[Benny_V]

Hi all, just ordered myself a new pc from dell and there's no real options for graphics at my end of the budget, in my current pc i have the Asus ATI HD4890TOP and in my new one i will have 2 hd5670's (in crossfire).

I was wondering if i should leave the 5670's in my new one or replace with my old 4890? I'm not sure quite how crossfire works or if it will beat my 4890 when they are both together. I am aware however that my 4890 is not direct x 11 compliant.

Please help me make an informed decision, if not for me, for my games' sake lol.

Keep the HD4890. An HD5670 crossfire is very ineffective.

Thankyou for the information, i'll try and sell the 5670's and put a bit or money into getting another 4890 then.
All the best, Ben
