leme ask something so how much better can the graphics look from just buying one of them...will it still sometime or something? or over heat?

With a single 5870, I cannot run DX11 with 24xMSAA/16xAF with the Ultra preset and vsinc. With 2 of them, I can. However, I recently applied a Dirt 2 mod which gives me higher options for shadows, trees, objects, refections and a couple others which makes it impossible for 5870 in CF to run at the CCC setings I like. In this case, I "need" 5870s in Tri-Fire. And I will be 100% honest with you; it is the most likelike, realistic gaming experience I've ever experienced, period. :)

About how much did your entire setup cost?

[GutiProducer]

i have a 8800gts 640 stock and the game looks EXACTLY the same.

You spent like 5 thousand dollars in that crap for nothing, you should have spend it in a REAL CAR.

@drewitt8 1st comment: The reason cards don't scale so well in 4 way crossfire/sli is because it's just got to much memory. That's why in some (or most, even) tri-sli beats Quad. Not in synthetic benchmarks, however.

2nd comment: True about the 120Hz display, I was Mal-informed of the eye information, I trolled around the internet for a while and found that the human eye can detect things up to 200FPS but there wouldn't be that much difference in game play/smoothness that would be noticeable.

@Wookie1234567 And also, i deny your 60fps plee. Anything over 60fps is redundant on a 60hz display, as the extra frames are never seen, but one a 120hz display, the max you will see is 120fps, this being due to hz(1 unit/ 1 second) or ie 120 'refresh' per second, or the same concept as 120 fps, each flicker being one image, which clearly people can see the difference between 60hz motion and 120hz motion.

@Wookie1234567 Lol. power supplies is not what i was talking about 'power' meaning processing power. 4 cards does not scale well in alot of games, so its a waste in alot of applications. One PSU thats setup for X-fire or SLI is enough, assumeing ur wattage is high enough for the cards.

[Wookie1234567]

@drewitt8 Mmm, totally agree, anything over 60FPS is actually redundant as the human eye cannot detect anything moving faster then that. Power is no issue, one could chose to use multiple power supplies (well, as long as that ones house/power source allows) to power cards/CPU/MoBo.
