You should be ok!

hope so..

been looking to maybe upgrade to xfire 6870's cant decide though.


would xfire 5850's be better ?

 

[RJC]

Crossfire 6870 I believe will be better.

I used to have crossfire 5850 before upgrading to the 480 GTX.

[thecomputerguy]

did you notice any gain ?

 

[RJC]

Admittedly I did not do any major comparisons with the cards, the 480 runs anything thrown at it similar to the 5850 crossfire.

Sorry I could not give a better explanation
