Default Another question.

I don't mean to pester you all with these questions, but I get better performance if I crossfire a 4870 and a 4850 rather than just two 4850s?

Regardless of price, would performance be better?

Here you go. I'd get which ever one you find cheaper.

Remember no matter what component you put in (Gpu,HDD or Ram) it will always clock to the lowest one.
