Which is better (value-wise)? (disregarding directx 11, psu and mobo xfire [8x/8x] ready)


1 GB Sapphire 4860 xfire = $245
1gb Sapphire 4870 xfire = $280
1gb Sapphire 4870 Vapor-X ddr5 xfire (128bit) = $322

1gb Sapphire 4890 $172
1gb Sapphire 4890 Vapor-X $182
2gb Sapphire 4890 Vapor-X $223

1GB XFX 5850 =$292

The Graphics Card Hierarchy Chart doesn't appear to contain entries in xfire.

Thanks.

the bang for your buck in ur lineup would most likely be the sapphire 4870 crossfire for $280 two 4870s will beat out a single 5850 and cost less. I have seen an asus 4870 on sale at newegg for $105 at times. put two of those together for 210 and you got a good deal. I wouldnt usually recommend getting old tech but this is reallly a good deal seeing as dx11isnt really being used and isnt planned on being used that much in the near future. Here is a link to the card I was talking about http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

Yes, 2x HD4870 will beat out a single HD5850, but HD4870 in CF setup will produce a lot amount of heat and noise, so you will better with a single HD5850 for now and you can add another one later if you have money...

Dual HD5850 (another one later) would be GREAT. :)
