Is there any benefit

Hi

First of all ello all

basically ive notice the price of the HD3870XT has gone down
so is it worth adding another one and running them in crossfire mode
is the performance difference noticeable
and is my power supply okay for 2 x HD3870XT

here is my Spec

MB: Asus P5W DH Deluxe
Processor: C2D E6600 (3.60Ghz)
Ram: Geil 2 x 1Gb 800 Mhz ULL
PSU: OCZ 600W Xtreme
GPU: Sapphire HD3870XT
Case: Antec 900

600W is fine for CF, jsut remember some adaptors though if you need any

Thanks Jak

if the game is CF compatable and you are not already able to play at soemthing stupid like 300FSP with AA and AF maxed out, then you should notice an improvement ,once CF is enabled

My two cards are enough for me to run all current games at the maximum settings available, apart from Crysis, at 1680x1050.

COD4 looks amazing and I get just over 18,000 in 3DMark 06.
