6870 x2 Question

[sharpbrick]

Hi guys I have a sapphire 6870 and am wondering if i get a 6870 x2 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131446r) if i would be able to xfire the 2 of them for tri xfire... tell me what you think, thanks.

If your board supports Crossfire, then yes you can do a triple Crossfire with those cards. However, you may run into a bit of a bottleneck as your PCI-E slots will be running in an x8 x8 configuration. The 6870x2 card may not have enough bandwidth to run at its full potential. The 6870x2 you've linked to seems to have been deactivated though, so you may have to find it elsewhere.
