Do you recommend 4850 with 4870 running both (SLI) ?. CROSSFIRE , not SLI sorry i want to run every game at its best with the best fps, so im intending to buy ATI4870 to run both with my current ATI4850 my question is: do you recommend it ? will i get a...

the best value right now, but it's up to you. I would recommend you get a Radeon 4850 1GB now, and then in about 6 months you upgrade your system, with a crossfire board of course, and add a second 4850 1GB to run in crossfire. Your 19" monitor is either 1280x1024...

would help out quite a bit, but for you, I would just recommend the 4850. I will help ;) Well personally I would try to shoot for the 4870, if your funds allow you to. But then again, your gaming at a lower res, so a 4850 would work really good also....

with a 4870 single card myself and probably a iGB card as well. Although personally im going for a single 4850 when i upgrade. Mactronix Thx for the advice. What brands would you recommend for a 4850/4870? My personal preferance is the HIS ICEQ range...

and the 4870 for 269.99 after a MIR of 20$ 4850 : 4870 : You can use to find some good prices... The 260 GTX is over priced. Get the 4870 instead, with the 4870 you get a little more performance then the 260GTX and on certain titles the performance...

with "eye-candyness". Esop! See benchmarks, first graph is 1024x768. Performance distribution is somewhat different at that low resolution than the typical higher resolution that most people use. Those who recommend 4850/4870 as a blanket...

4850 or 4870, either card would be a large improvement over your 7900GS. If your heart is set on the 4890, then you need a new PSU. Plus if you are gaming on a 20 inch LCD or smaller, you don't really need a 4890 or even 4870. Ok so here is the reason...
