I am having every kind of problem u can think of with both cards BSODS crashes lock ups and i am sure its cause of ccc tried with standalone drivers its smooth but with ccc installed its screwed for example when i try to enter 3d settings under ccc it locks up and atimdag.sys stops responding till i end the ccc process both win7 and vista has the same problem

Did you used to have an nvidia card before you switched over to ATI? Did you do a fresh install of windows? It's known to cause problems.

A GTX260 Core 216 or GTX 275 would be good for you(r budget) seeing that you came from a 4870. If you can wait until feb '10, you can pick up a DX11 nvidia card, though it'll run a pretty big hole in your wallet, depending what you get.

Entertain me here, uninstall all your ATI drivers, run driver cleaner pro, restart your computer. Update direct X then install the cat 9.7's (they were the best for vista IMHO) and please tell me you weren't overclocking your video card.

Your motherboard can't run SLI, only crossfire.

Well...unless you want to use this hack.
