Do xfire 5850s outperform one 5970?

 

[BigBruiserAl]

Not a sign I am afraid.

We still on for 5770 vapour x's today ?

Its for our other PC but once drivers are good its going in mine

Could not risk getting a 2nd for months due to TSMC so just went for it when I saw stock

Would be interesting if they did... a 5970 is two 5870s stuck together.

But at 5850 speeds I believe. I did find some benchmarks where crossfire 5850s beat a single 5970, I guess it was just a fluke though

Edit:
Found it again (<3 history) http://www.guru3d.com/article/radeon-hd-5970-review-test/14
5970: 87fps
5850 x 2: 88fps

|that's quite interesting, not sure how that could have happened :|

Immature drivers is all I can put it down to, and Far Cry 2 is the only game so far that I've seen where the 5850 xfire is the better.

5870 for £349? 0_o

I was thinking somewhere in the lines of £299
