Crossfire question

[eddiei418]

Hello,

i had put my computer together about 4 years ago (high end for the time). my current gpu is:

- MSI R5770 Hawk Radeon HD 5770

I have the opportunity to obtain another one to crossfire with and i was wondering if it is really worth the money to do so.

Its not worth crossfiring since it is a lower tier card and of an older generation.

You could consider upgrading your current card to a 7770, but anything higher than that would be bottlenecked by the CPU.
