design, but the 4670s might perform a bit better and they do OC very well. the 4850 will work with everything and i read you can xfire it later if needed with any 4000 series card ? Depends on which 790GX board you have. Does it support Crossfire & Hybrid...

uses more power than the 4830. more power is more heat is more stress on the mobo. is it that serious - maybe not - the 4850 is tempting to me. but so is 4830 in xfire. anyway, that's my world, and I won't be buying for a few months anyway - which means...

both the GTX280 and the GTX285, and completely destroy a GTX260 Here is my rudimentary ranking: 1 8800GT/9800GT or 4830 = .8 2x 8800GT/9800GT SLi or 4830 Xfire = 1.4 1 9800GTX/GTX+/GTS250 or 4850 = 1 2x 9800GTX/GTX+/GTX250 SLi or 4850 Xfire = 1.8...

4870 in XFire unless the game is "XFire incompatible". i think the op is a newbie, no need to shoot him down Isn't the 4870 more than 2x as fast as the 3870 though? Wouldn't an overclocked 4830 or 4850 be more on par with the HD3870x2? OP is...

with Crossfire also has me leaning towards this. The support is just not there. GTX 285 - 349.99 Sapphire 4870 - 179.99 Kinda hard to compare them when there's THAT much difference in price. How does the 4870 do in Xfire against a single 285?...

4850x2+4830 xfire. so i got the upgrade bug and i am thinking about building a pc ... right now i have a hdmi ati 4830 1gb in my system i want to build a new pc and i want a 4850x2 with a native hdmi port but they do not make them could i crossfire the 2 cards...

1.0 - with higher values being better performance. This is with SLi/Xfire enabled games. 1 8800GT/9800GT or 4830 = .8 2x 8800GT/9800GT SLi or 4830 Xfire = 1.4 1 9800GX2 = 1.45 1 9800GTX/GTX+/GTX250 or 4850 = 1 2x 9800GTX/GTX+/GTX250 SLi or 4850 Xfire...

online shops. Looks like the 4830 is a decent video card. I wonder how the 4830 does in Xfire mode compared to 4850 xfire and 4770 xfire. If the 4830 xfire can reach close to 70fps for $180 then I want to buy it like this instead of nvidia 260gtx. :pt1cable:...

SLi = 1.4 1 9800GX2 = 1.45 1 4830 = .8 2x 4830 Xfire = 1.4 1 9800GTX/GTX+/GTS250 = 1 2x 9800GTX/GTX+/GTX250 SLi = 1.8 1 4850 = 1 2x 4850 Xfire = 1.8 1 4870 512mb = 1.25 1 4870 1GB = 1.3 2x 4870 512mb Xfire = 2.25 2x 4870 1GB Xfire = 2.34...

better to go with one 4850 or two 4830 in xfire?. Which would be better for my display at 1680 x 1050, a single card or a xfire/sli setup? Would it be better to go with one 4850 or two 4830 in xfire? It all depends on what you are doing, what works for one...
