I can get an "ATI Radeon HD 5850 1GB DDR5 Graphics Card With 1080p HD-3D HDMI Port, Display Port & DVI Port + Fan Cooler!" for $120. I already have a Sapphire 5850 that I bought in January of 2010. Can I Crossfire these two even if they are different brands, they seem to have the same specs, I've just never had more than one GPU... I know I don't "need" to do this but I figure if I can get one cheap before they stop making them I'll be set for a few years. Here are my specs:
