5870 and 5850

[Penfold99]

Current spec is
q6600 @3.4Ghz
8gig ddr2
xfx 5870
ATI eyefinity running at 5760x1080
620W PSU

Would it be worth me getting a 5850 to add to rig to crossfire so bf3 will run better? as cant buy new xfx 5870 anymore? would I have enuff power with a 620W PSU

dont think it's worth it going by another guys experience with a similar setup as you and bf3, he's cpu bound

Hope someone can help:
I have a Q6600 OCed to 3.2ghz for Battlefield 3.
I'm seeing it use 90-100% on all cores and I believe it is bottlenecking my CF 5850's.
Anyone seeing similar with the same processor?
No matter the settings/drivers I use, my fps remains similar.

I should add that my fps is the same or higher when going to single card!
