5870 & 5850 in Cross Fire

[Rogue77777]

Hi All,

I currently have an XFX 5870. I'm looking into adding another card in crossfire, but don't want to spend another $400.
Will I gain or loose proformance by adding a 5850 or is it not worth it?
I mainly use my I7 machine for gaming.
Thanks

You will gain performance, the scaling should be quite good, I would overclock the 5850 so their performance is similar though.
