Help!

Ive got a ATI 3870 512mb that i dont believe can cut it anymore 2bh.

My mate will sell the iddentical 1 2 me for £50 so i could crossfire.

Sooo....

Is it worth crossfiring these two cards or go for a much better singular???

Budget £150
 
What is your montior resolution?

I would deffinetly upgrade to a single card, something like a 4890 or a 5770, the latter has a bit less grunt than the 4890 but uses less power and is DX11 compatible.

Cool, in that case I will stick with my recomendation of the 4890 or 5770, its up to you to decide on which though, they both have their benefits.

Also with the 5770 the gains from Xfire are brilliant, so you may want to consider that when deciding on a new card.
