Hi all,
Last year I built a PC with a Sapphire HD5850 (model number 100282-3SR) with the intention of one day buying another and crossfiring them. I know that my system is fully capable of running crossfire, and I think that it would benefit me considering I play my games at 1920x1080 and very high settings.
Here's my question: should I have any trouble running crossfire with my old Sapphire HD5850 and one of the new Sapphire HD5850 Xtreme cards? The new Xtremes run at around $150 or less, so this seems like a great deal and good excuse to start running crossfire if it can significantly improve performance in most newer games. Assuming these two cards are fully compatible, do you guys have any suggestions or advice for someone like me who has never run crossfire?
Thank you!
