I have officially jumped ship and sold everything I had that was Intel/Nvidia

Not really for fanboy reasons but more so for financial as bills were piling up and I couldn't justify having more than one rig at the moment.

I would just like to say hi to all red team members and I am looking foreword to joining any AMD/ ATi clubs if anyone would like to point me in the right direction

Also, I am in the market for a good HSF for an AM2+ socket. Right now I have a Xiggy s128 and if anyone knows if it fits this socket type it would be much appreciated

Also, any other advice is welcome!

EDIT:

Here are some reviews on HD5770 Crossfire X. I am very excited to get the second card. I did own 4870 512 in CF once and this looks to be about the same and beat it in some tests all while drawing far less power and prducing less heat !

From these reviews it looks like selling my old stuff(i7 920 DO, 2 GTX 260 55nm, 8800GT) for well over $1000 and dropping $300 on these cards was a great choice considering I will not be losing any performance(except for Physx). Also, it looks like 5770 in CF is going to beat out a 5850 for about the same price

I'm jumping ship to soon also simply because I love upgrading my PC a lot but can't with Intel's prices. Also just a preference.

Yeah no doubt. From what I can tell, in games AMD offerings are just as good as Intels i7. I havent noticed any difference really[and this is without an overclock on the AMD chip yet(if you don't count 250 mhz)]

Any advice or clubs I can join?

Welcome to the other side where your wallet will be happier and performance practically the same. For the record, my vid card is my backup to my sold 4890 vaporx. Still waiting on the gt300s to come out so I can grab some 5870s or 5870x2s.

Yeah the 5870 is a beast of a card and should eat up games. From the looks of those benchies a 5770 CF setup is about equal to a 5870 but 100 bucks cheaper Man I'm excited to bench when I get everything overclocked and running stable
