Crossfire Worth it?

Currently got a 6970 (see spec) but was thinking of throwing another card in crossfire. Thing is does it have to be another 6970, or could i possibly use a 6870 or something?

Reason being for this is i im running BF3 on 1920x1080 with textures on high and the rest on medium, and 4x AA. Getting 50-60 FPS most of the time which is good, can drop into the 40s when things get heated etc.

Im just curious to know really if popping another card in crossfire will make this run at a stright 60, bearing in mind that the second PCI-E port on my board is only 8x.

Would i see an increase increase or is it not worth it?

Thanks
 
Hi thanks for the replies

Im going to stick with what ive got for now, as theres nothing up with it, i dont think Xfire is worth the hassle really, im thinking of saving a little more then in a few months from now if im still playing BF3 il invest in a 7950/7970

Thanks :)
