[rodders]

So would you fit:

4870 x2
GTX280
two 4850's

or something else?

 

[*Chris]

2 4870 x2s

 

[TheCenturion]

if you're spending 2k, get 2 gtx 280s or 2 4870x2s!
but it depends what res

on a x48 mobo?

 

[TheCenturion]

if you're getting an x48 mobo, get ati cards, but what res will you play at?

 

[Richdog]

Just get a single 4870 X2, anything more is pointless.

 

[XeNoN89]

depends on mobo

 

[rodders]

Prob 22 or 24inch monitor

 

[TheCenturion]

Prob 22 or 24inch monitor

22inch, 4870, 24 then x2 or gtx 280

 

[rodders]

ok, cool.

Thanks for the info

If just using a single card, get a P45 as an X48 will not be worth it as not using crossfire?

yeah then a 4870, or x2 would be great on a p45!

 

[EdGey]

2 x 4870 in crossfire

Im trying to budget in for a OCZ SSD, and two 4870's pushes it over more than 1 4870 x3.

Could be a 4870x2 on a P45 then. Still gonna be great performance isnt it?!?!

Why would you choose 2x 512MB 4870's over a single 2GB 4870 X2?
