I have 2 ATI 4850 GPU's both 512MB, Im building a new PC to run these in Crossfire. WELL I WAS! After reading I have began to second guess myself. Should I craigslist these and buy 1 GPU? Im not familiar with the 4850x2 but it sounds like the 4890 is a really good card.

I say you keep them and wait for the DX11 cards to come out, then sell em.

i think you could very much benefit form just having one good GPU than two okay ones, and you could always save up and go crossfire in the future

Agreed. Though if you do get a new card... make sure it's a 4890.

Well the 4890 does not seem to terribly pricey. What is a good brand to look for when I get one?

craigslist is really hit/miss with selling graphics cards. You have kids selling their 7800GT's for $75 but offering $50 for your HD4850. True story.

Well im currently using 1 in my sig rig and I think I will be passing this whole PC to my wife. So im going to slap my other 4850 on craigslist and just wait it out till I find a buyer. its still factory sealed and unopened so should not take to long.
