4890 to 5770
I know this is considered a downgrade but its minimal if you consider the fps loss. Is it beneficial if I swap my 4890 for a 5770 and then go Xfire later on when I'll be able to upgrade my mobo and CPU?

If you are looking for DX11 and some crazy ass overclocking head room, then yes. If not, then stick with what you have. and upgrade to 2 4890s. But to be honest, 2 5770s are equal to a 5870

I downgraded from a 4890 Vapor-X to a 5770 and I have never been happier
__________________If you're thinking about doing this then your mind is already made up. It uses less power, has DX11 and the performance loss very small I did a Resident Evil 5 bench at 1920 x 1200, 8AA, 16AF 4890 Vapor-X (950/1200) got 87fps 5770 Unlocked (1000/1400) got 83 fps You do the math

hmm.. so if CF 5770 = 5870, then a CF 4890 would be tad better than the 5870 without the DX11? Tho, with 5000 series premature drivers, who gave us the right to tell.

2 x 5770 scales far better in crossfire then 2 x 4890...
