470 sli

clone
ive been having this rattling round my head all week, ive read read so many reviews but, being a fellow xfire user like yourself, its simply not worth it, its only going to a small ammount of difference in a small ammount of sinarios.
the final review i just read was the one that made my mind up

" a 470sli is no better than a 6month old 5870xfire setup "

^ it's slightly better performance wise and a lot better bang4buck wise

but since you already have dual 5870's I wouldn't bother
 
Im going to be going SLI 470's (hopefully they will arrive on monday). I dont know if it works for you as your comming from CF 5870 i would only change if i could get £210-£230 each for you 5870s then it would be worth it going SLI and clocking them like hell :D.

What are you replacing your cards with, I noticed you were selling your 5870's on the MM

Yeh i sold them on another forum,was thinking of EVGA 470 sc sli setup should work well with my 4way motherboard as the ati drivers are rubbish.
 
just go with the cheapest brand or the best compromise between price and warranty

so at the moment you should get ASUS 470's, saves you £70 over the EVGA 470 SC's too
 
I love my 470 SLI setup. Stick them under water and they are absolute beasts. I've come from a 5850 Crossfire setup and I couldn't be happier.
