Default 4670 CrossfireX or 4830?

Well currently I have a 4670 and Am thinking of buying a 4830 do in 6 months I can crossfire them. I am also thinking of just buying a cheap 4670 and crossfire them right now. If I buy the 4830 I will be buying the xfx one which is 125 and the 4670 that I would buy is 80.

I know that. I have a 4670 right now and am considering buying another one to crossfire right now for 80 dollars. I am also considering just buying a 4830 and in 6 months buy another to crossfire.

There are many review of 4670CF. Here is one. It pretty close 4850 so it is better than 4830. It all comes down to your upgrade timeframe. You can sell your 4670 for $70 and put in $60 for a 4830, then do 4830 CF which close to 4870.

save ur 80$ and sell ur 4670 now, im sure with 150$ you can afford one 4850. not alot of games take advantage of Xfire, and usually 1 card would do, but its soo cool with xfire, im thinking of getting one myself but with probably better cards
