Hi this is a simple question really, just got a 4890 and was wondering what it would be like in crossfire with its nearest sibling - 4870 or even a 4870x2? Any ideas - good/bad? Thanks

Probably pointless pairing one with a 4870x2, i dont think Tri xfire scales very well..
4870 would be a good bet but the 4890 would probably downclock to the 4870 speeds, still steller performance though.
What resolution are you running? if at 1680 x 1050 or 1920 x 1080 then it would be worth it.

Only thing worth Crossfiring with a 4890 is another 4890.
