Hello,
I have a ATI 5870 2GB which works very well for me which I was planning to Xfire at some point in time. Newegg recently came out with a ATI 5970 2GB at a price to hard to resit which I got. I thought this a nice solution since the 5970 is essentially 2 underclocked 5870's on a single card which makes it seem like these should xfire very well together once clocked similarly. The questions I have are, if not clocked similarly will these still work well together at different clocks. Also is the 2gb 5970 gonna handicap the set up as it's creating 2 1gb 5870's and with a 2gb 5870. Or will it work like 2 2gb cards?
