Crossfiring two MSI 6870 OC's.

[Porceliamone]

I'm still getting up to speed on things having built my first ever PC (sig, below) so would appreciate some input.

As stated, I currently have the build noted in my sig but after a little consideration/reading I'm considering getting another MSI 6870 OC and x-firing it.

Will my MB support it or should I sell my existing (practically new 6870 OC) and invest in a more powerful single card?

Thanks.

Update, I just read somewhere that the MB I have won't support x-fire?

A new more powerful GPU it is then I guess. That or stick with what I have. It's not a bad card but I think I've caught the bug after doing this all from scratch. I want more power! What would be a next step or two or three up from the 6870 OC?

I think it's now a moot point becuse the MB I have won't support x-firing (unless someone suggests otherwise)?

I'm not sure what I could get for my existing card. It's mint condition, barely used so far as my sytem is new.

I'm thinking I could add £100-150 on top of what I could get for my exisiting card.
