Crossfire Advice

[Superpatsy]

Been looking into crossfiring and was looking for a bit of advice...

First, I want to crossfire the card in my sig with...

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-160-PC&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1842

Would this work? I understand that I would have to either downclock my current card or overclock the new card.

Second, would my Corsair AX860 have enough grunt to power both cards? I have a 4.2GHz OC @ 1.22V, and 2 HDD's and an SSD.

Third, what would be the sort of 'maximum' resolution monitor I could upgrade to so that I could run everything maxed out and 60FPS?



I know I could sell up and go to a more powerful card but I like the idea crossfire and want to give it a go.

Cheers in advance!

It's the dual-slot DCUII. What sort of scenarios would I see a bottleneck?

I'm getting a hefty pay rise next month so I'll go for an i7 then.

So I'm good to pull the trigger?
