4850 crossfire, worth it?

[despotofmidnor]

Hi, just built my 1st system and bought a 'XFX ATI Radeon HD 4850 "XXX Edition" 512MB'
Is it worth buying a 2nd whilst they are quite cheap atm?
Will i notice a massive difference if i put them in crossfire mode?
Thanks for any help.

what res are you using?

Currently my monitor is crap but moving to two 22"-24" (not decided yet) at hd res, but might get the Samsung SM2343BW, as it has bigger res than 1080p

get the monitors first, i say then see if you are happy with the performance of a single card.

Yep get monitor, then if your dropping under 60 fps on any of the game you play consider xfire.
