Adding another 5850 to my system

[christop]

I ordered another 5850 for 160 bucks new and am wondering what kind of an increase I will get going with crossfire. I game at 1900X1200 on a 26 inch asus monitor.
I have tried sli back when I had a couple 8800gts. This is my first time with crossfire. Thanks.

What are your full system specs?

Your likely to see about a 40%-60% increase in fps

i7-930 ocd to 4.2 soon to have 2 5850 in crossfire, 6 gig of ram, sabertooth mb 850 kingwin psu 1 750 hd and a 1.5 ter hd. water cooling my 930 with a rasa kit and maybe later if they don't sell out first I will pick up a couple full cover blocks I might water cool my gpus too after adding one more 240 rad.

I was worried you might be bottlenecking the 5850 crossfire but that doesn't seem likely.

Goodluck
Happy Gaming
