I'm rather impatiently awaiting my 2nd Sapphire 2gb 5870 to crossfire with my identical card. I've never crossfired cards before. I'm thinking that I just need to uninstall drivers, boot into safe mode, run driver sweeper, shut down. Install the new card and 2 crossfire bridges (rumor is that is better?) then fire it up, reinstall drivers, activate crossfire in Catalyst and I'm up and running. Is this correct? I know the answer to this question is almost always yes, but would i benefit more from doing reformatting and doing a clean install with the 2 cards installed?
My system specs (if it matters):
AMD Phenom X4 965 BE @ 3.8ghz
MSI 790FX-GD70 mobo
4gb OCZ AMD BE DDR3-1600
Sapphire 2gb 5870
OCZ Agility 2 SSD - 120gb
Some old 250gb Sata II HDD
750w Corsair PSU
