Yo guys,
With my big upgrade to DDR3 and i7 I would like to change my graphics set up again as well and get into the high end once again.
I have had two sets of SLI GTX280's so want faster than that, I have also have 2 4890's in Crossfire before but sold one of them due to a loss of gaming interest a few months back.
Now I want all the power again, I am liking since buying my first ATI cards (a pair of 4890's) as I have not had one driver issue unlike with previous Nvidia SLI set ups.
So, I think I am torn between the following choices:
1. Get another XFX 4890
2. Sell current 4890 and buy a 5870
The second of those choices is more appealing to me as it provides the option to get a second 5870 and run Crossfire again. However, the second 4890 option is cheaper and it will have me running Crossfire again.
The questions are as follows:
How does a 5870 do against a pair of 4890's?
And also:
What sort of performance will I see from a pair of 5870's considering my previous high end SLI and Crossfire set ups?
Cheers
