  • I have 4870 and 4890, but my CCC, Catalyst doesn;t give me the crossfire Option.. am i to download something to enable Crossfire?

  • can i crosfire a 4850 and a 4870 both palit sonics

  • what the hell, he says two 4850's in crossfire will beat a 4870x2.

    But two 4870's in crossfire wont beat the 4870x2 o.0

    A little error there i think. two 4870's in crossfire is the most powerful option of the bunch.

    Wait woops, this is the 4000 series, I am not familiar with them. My bro only has SLI x16 and x4, so this could be an option for him. He has PCI-E 2.0 ore maybe 2.1 - but I hear the only card that exceeds PCIE 1.0 x16 is like a GTX 295 (maybe just under, or jsut over) and cards beyond. So PCI-e 2.0 x8 would be enough for it, and his times x4 slot means he could SLI anything equivalant or under a GTX 275 bandwith without having a bottleneck.

    Yah especially the toxic version of the 5850 which is like 30 to 50$ more only and pretty near the 4870--- Though it may have not been out at this time. Whether it was or not doesn't take away from the fact that it's weird he said 4850x2 and 4870 where almost same.

  • I would upgrade to an 800 watt power supply and at least 60 amps on a single 12 volt rail and make sure its crossfire compatible.

  • I have a ASUS 4870 1GB with the Glaciator cooler and I want to Crossfire... but can't find it on the market any more (Greece)

    Q1: Can I use the Sapphire 4870 to CF them?

    I have currently a Coolermaster RealPower M520 520Watt PSU

    Q2: Should I upgrade to a more powerful PSU for crossfire'n? I have a i7 920 on the MSI Eclipse with 3 Sata drives and waiting for a 4th drive.

  • I think this guy is anoying.. xP he's not so cleaver.. I don't like his videos

  • i meant video

  • with what web cam you did this?
