Can someone tell me is better:

HD4870 in crossfire OR HD4870X2..???

Because both have the same specifics.. so what is the diference.. and which is better.. Because I got a 24" monitor.. I just want to know which I need.

I believe the 4870x2 is actually slightly faster than a 4870 in cf according to some benchmarks.

Are you sure about the sieport require game support ! cuz lol that doesnt make sense, unless im mistaking its hardware related only and has no need for software support. Like ASSA2k1 said its up to the manufactors too enable it.

And crysis needs even more gpu power, so even more power is welcome, u dont need a 25xx*1600 res monitor for it to be worth it.

[PowerPCdotcom]

If you look at benchmarks some of the other cards out there perform similar to it, but when you go to higher resolutions the card stands on its own. However the card still gives a solid performance at any resolution, we are just stating where it stands out.
