There are issues using 2 x 4870 X2's as they are dual chips and the games have to support Xfire to utilise the full power, just like your 9800GX2's.

Thats why i said the GTX280's as they are very powerful and will play any game with ease.

Clearly want a nicer case for that setup. The Coolermaster HAF looks horrendous

Crossfire X2's are lovely by the way

Easily. Can max out gow at 1680x1050 with 8xaa on a 4850 so you dont even need to worry with that rig.

GOD_OF_GAMES · 25 Dec 2008 at 16:28

cos ive got a rig at mo thats ment to be able to play it and it don't play probly on low settings

liquidex · 25 Dec 2008 at 16:31

What is your current rig? Anyway do not worry if you get that setup, I'm not sure what games would not be able to run well on it.

one of them should play that game fine, i think you might need it setting up properly or you have got a fault somewhere.
