DUAL 4870 DarkKnight? advice needed!!. I currently am running one dark knight 4870 and i love it, how ever i would like to also run a tri monitor setup, and plus having 2 of these guys running in crossfire would be sweet but my main concern is the heat that...

Way to hot!!!! Dual 4870 x2. Guys, i seem to have a major problem with my current graphics cards and dont understand why. I currently have dual 4870 x2 meaning 4 cards and the temps are just of the chart. On idle i was hitting 84C which is what the hell. Nothing...

specs It will work with one 4870 quite easily. That will give you time to check out the actual CF power requirements and look around for a new PSU later. You can decide if you want to size your PSU for dual 4870 or with a CrossfireX setup of one 4870 and...

months :lol: :lol: :lol: ur a piece of art.... .....if a dual 4870 gives realyy good performance, y wont a single 4870 do the same......this is how it works: u optimiz driver for single gpu....then u go 2 next gpu. and not the other way round..........

to know should i go with the 9800GX2 or the 4870? I would say 4870..200$ price diffrence Yep, 4870. While 9800gx2 outperforms a 280gtx, you can always add a second 4870 on that crossfire motherboard for $100 more than 9800gx2. Dual 4870 should outperform it...

a cheaper option than a 4890. yeah , i wasn't thinking outside of your options , get another 4870 512 mb as another 4890 would still perform as dual 4870 512 , not higher because of what jofa said . he has made a rather important point here . but i checked...

1gb will not help until very high resolutions. I haven't seen benchmarks of 1gb vs 512mb versions of 4870. But there are ones of 4870x2(1gb per core) and dual 4870 (512mb per core). And from them, it's clear it'll take far larger than 1920x1200 resolution for...

core and 1000mhz memory and the 8800 GTS 512 runs @ 650mhz core and 970mhz memory, so they both are a bit higher in different areas. Dual 4870 1GBs are almost identical to a 4870 X2, so no there is not difference between ATI and nVidia's X2 card's performance...

you SHOULD expect from a single 4870: 85-90% of the performance of a gtx280 with AA enabled at equal settings. This makes it a tremendous single gpu for its cost. However the CF scaling for this card is a total waste of time. If you want "dual 4870 gpus"; wait...
