I've never done a crossfire, so my question is what would be the benefit of crossfiring 2 5870's? I appreciate any input on the matter. |

Not a great amount. Would be a increased framerate in your video games but only ones that utilize. |

Personally I think it would be a waste to buy 2 and crossfire money wise. But if you're rich.. go nuts! |

If you want crossfire and don't have a 5870 already, wait for the x2 model. |

2 5870's isnt worth it, one will destroy anything you throw at it |

Apparently the 5970 is clocked at 725MHz/1000MHz Core/mem. These would appear to be 5850 speeds, but it's got the same number of shaders/texture units as 2 5870's. Taken with grain of fud flavoured salt... http://www.fudzilla.com/content/view/16379/1/ |

So is anyone planning on taking the 5970 plunge, assuming one can actually find one and then buy one.  I lol'd |

I'll just grab a second 5850 when the prices come back down. |

From the benchies I've seen it looks to be that 5850 in crossfire (when working) perform just a good, if not better than a 5970 (also when working). Also interesting is the 5790 is 2 5870 cores clocked at 5850 speeds. The price is fantastic though (MSRP that is), and requires less power than 2x5850's seperately. Looks like they finally got one right! |
