Please RATE or Comment on your thoughts of these rigs. Visit http://PCWizKidsTechTalk.com for details on all the components in the rigs. This is NOT A OFFICIAL Video REVIEW, but a fun video I put toether to see how to AMD Dragon systems face off against each other. Yes I know the hardware is not exactly the same, but it shows how close you can get with slightly different configurations.

I am going to buy a laptop with ATI Radeon HD 4200, i was wondering if HybridCrossFireX is for laptops also, or just desktops?

[PCWizKid]

@helloimclaudio just desktops

[helloimclaudio]

@PCWizKid Oh well that sucks. Thanks for writing so quick. I have a couple of questions. If you answer them, great!

1.) Can ATI Radeon HD 4200 with 4gb ram and 2.3ghz proccesor speed run Call of Duty 4, Flight Simulator X, and most 3d games. I mostly want it to run Flight Simulator X smoothly on medium settings or higher. Will it do that?

2.) Is there any good external graphics card for laptops?

[PCWizKid]

@helloimclaudio No, you will need to run those games on low settings

Hi pcwizkid, i'm kinda new @ computer building, and i have a question,

if you have 2 cards, like uhh, 1 asus eah4870 & 1 ati radeon 4870 x2, can u use crossfire with it? i mean, can u use 2 diffirent models in crossfire?

thankyou already :)

[PCWizKid]

@Traxxdays yes, you can have them in crossfire as long as the GPU class is the same. However it is recommended to use the same identical GPU. but it does not have to be the same brand.

[nelizmastr]

@MultiW8 in sli, you cant. nvidia requires 2 identical gpu's.

[MultiW8]

can i use diferends cards in sli??????? rofl

[MultiW8]

can i use fiferends cards in sli??????? rofl

[MindSeeR666]

@helloimclaudio Omg, you're so stupid when it comes to Pcs -.-

[Ripafartstudios]

@PCWizKid Do you have to have multiple displays to run Crossfire?

[Vortex1988]

This is hardly a fair comparison considering that the parts (besides the graphics cards) in the 4890 build are superior to the other build.

@bjokey87 To late :/ I brought the Cooler Master Hyper 212

[bjokey87]

@zDanishKid its the Cooler Master V10 and it is by no means small, lol. The smallest one Cooler Master makes (that I know of) is the V6. Also look at the benchmarks just to be sure that it cools good enough for your system.

[DiDolRuChagi]

These systems are wack. I Get a score of about 19000 with a phenom ii x4 @ 3.8GHz and a single GTX 260

[zDanishKid]

Hello PCWizKid! I been subscribing in long time :D! and i like your vids. But which cpu cooler do you use in this vid? I need a small cpu! Pleas answer!
