Eyefinity/Crossfire setup

[kg648]

Hi guys,

I have a third monitor coming tomorrow, also a 5870 I currently have a 5850.

Is it worth either or will it work;

A) crossfire both cards and use 3 montiors

B) have them as two seperate cards and feed two off the 5870 and 1 monitor off the 5850

Any help/suggestions would be great.

I am trying to upgrade the 5850 to a 5870.

Thanks in advance.

I would crossfire them with the 5870 in the top slot feeding all the mlnitors, going to need a active displayport adaptor also

Do you think it'd be worth it upgrading the 5850 to a 5870 also?

If you can get a good price for 5850 then mabe or just overclock the 5850 wouldnt be to much difference i think
