Common problems with Crossfire?

[thedoc46]

Hi,

you can read my other post if you want. I am in the middle of a dilema on whether to get another 5770 and crossfire or sell my existing and get a better 5850 or even maybe a 5870.

However I've never crossfired before so other than reading the occasional one gpu is better than x-fire postings on here, I'm just not sure what to expect.

As a pro, the tests below seem VERY PROMISING

However they don't list all the quirks that people experience in the real world of crossfiring..

So this post is to those who have crossfired, did you regret it? if so why? did you spend all your time fixing quirks instead of playing the games?

Mods please move to gfx. I didn't realise i was in the wrong place.

Thanks guys I think I'm just going to go for a 5850 and be done with it. Though on paper the x-fire of 5770 looks more powerful, it also probably comes with more niggles, something i don't care too much for.
