Is it worth it?

[SgtBen]

Hey guys just wondering if it would be worth getting another 3870 HIS iceQ in my rig, got a OCZ Stealth X Stream 600w Multi GPU PSU and a ASRock 4core1333-viiv Motherboard. Would i see a big increase in performance i got 1 iceq 3870 already just wondering if i would notice this upgrade in games such as cod4/crysis/ and AOC when it comes out tommrow.

Regards

Ben.

Not with that motherboard, no....

On ASRock's site they say this about that mobo;

# 1 x PCI Express x 16 slot
# Additional AGI Express slot to adopt 2nd PCI Express x 16 VGA card, and other PCI Express x4, x2, x1 interface cards

AGI seems to be ASRock's name for a 4x PCI-express slot?

Seems suspicious, but ASRock are good for innovation so it probably works, but a 4x lane might not be enough for the card's bandwidth, I dunno.

Yeh on the box it says it has a 4x PCI-Express slot and even on the mobo theres a sticker where the PCI express slot is it says "AGI Express slot(PCI Express x4)"

Not with a 2nd slot running at 4x, will cripple it id have thought.
