[Nuttie10]

Can anyone give me benchmarks on 2x sapphire HD6850 2gb crossfire, and what will the benefits be.

the benefit will be you will get gpu performance about as powerful as a gtx 580.

does it matter if each card is 1gb or 2gb.
I've already got the 2gb version and planning to buy another one within a months time.

make sure you get another 2gig version or there will be performance problems.

and running 2 in xfire will increase performance especially in higher res and higher game settings.

if you get a 1gb the 2gb will be wasted . 2gb vram will help your card get more fps on resolutions above 1080p
