Hey all, i am currently thinking of going crossfire on the above card on my rig in the signiature. Its all in a TJ07BW case and under water with a triple radiator. I have a 20" Dell E207WFP (DVI) and a 17" Iiyama TFT (d-sub). I play games and also use the 2 screens for university work.

Will i notice much difference from going to crossfire? Or should just upgrade my GFX to a HD3870 X2?
 
I am at university and am sure i will hopefully be able to shift it for around £150 or so. i am having a look on the bay and have seen an xt with a waterblock for quite a bit but will ask the seller if i can get it for a bit cheaper (sub £100 is what i'm aiming for) but will need to buy another waterblock for my current 2900 as it is not crossfire compatible
 
would i see a lot of improvement going from a single HD2900XT to crossfire, or even to the HD3870X2? which option is *better*?
 
i do love having bills included in rent ^_^ as well as the 10mbit connection to the net. i've worked out it will only cost me about £150 or so to go from water cooled hd2900xt to water cooled HD3870X2. What iw as trying to ask with my previous question is will there be a marked performance increase (i.e. will I be able to see the difference) between the 2 cards? I haven't been able to find any reviews which compare and contrast in game performance
