Which Is Better 1080p or Crossfire?

Which is better?
My Motherboard's Box Says It Supports Crossfire But Newegg Said
PCI Express 2.0 Single At x16 Duel At x8
Does This Work And How Do You Even Sutup Crossfire And Use It?

Basicly i don't know much about crossfire but which is better crossfire or a 1080p moniter my current is 1360 x 768 someone said it's tiny but i like ultra setting at any framerate 24fps+ high settings would work i don't care about anything but AA and resulution.

You have an "apples 'n oranges" question.

1080p describes a monitor's resolution - actually 1920 H X 1080 V which is much better than your present 1360 x 768. CrossFire describes using two similar AMD cards (nVidia equivalent is SLI) to speed video rendering. The greater the resolution, the harder the video card needs to work.

Your motherboard supports XF - box said so. That means it has two PCIeX16 slots. Most motherboards have a shortage of PCIe lanes. So newegg said that if you use one video card, you put it in the primary PCIe slot and it will run with all 16 PCIe lanes. If you use two video cards, the system will automatically allocate 8 PCIe lanes to each video card. The PCIe interface is fast enough that using 8 lanes for each card will not cost you any performance.

whats your current card?

Sapphire AMD Radeon HD 6870

My CPU Is a AMD FX-8120

no, its not an apples to oranges question, just a very poorly worded one you do not need crossfire for 720p...

Asking someone the difference between 720p and 1080p is not a good idea. To get the real answer, try 1080p for yourself and ask yourself whether you really like it better.

And to answer your question, do not go with CF. If you have money to use on either CF or a 1080p monitor; choose the monitor. As CF will not be of use to you, as a single 6870 will do fine (As stated above)

According to TH's card test. At 1680x1080 on High with a 6870 you should get around 50 FPS.
