What's best upgrade option

[soundesciple]

Would I be better off crossfireing my radeon 4850 or buying a better single card.?

I think prob sell that and get a better single card tbh, imo best value atm is 1 gig 460

 

[soundesciple]

Cheers, but but if I x-fire Ide have 2 gig of men, wouldn't that be better than 1gig Or dose it depend on other things like DDR5 and clock speeds and that. ( sorry but I'm not up to scratch on video cards)

My card
HIS Radeon HD 4850 icooler 1gig DDR3

if you crossfire 2x 1GB cards you only have 1GB of memory between the cards because what's in the memory is duplicated on both cards

so you won't lose any memory (it's probably better tbh)

A single 5830 on offer today - £130 plus delivery (you don't have free shipping anyway). Only 3 left so hurry if you want to grab a bargain. Don't know your budget though, GeForce 460, either 768MB or 1GB version, would be next step in performance.

So is that better to x-fire or upgrade the single card?

Go for a 460

More power than crossfire 4850's and none of the crossfire issues. Not too pricey either.

 

[Mr Krugga]

Scrap that, what's your budget if you sell the current card?

 

[soundesciple]

If I sell my card my budget would be £200-£230 but not till next week.

 

[Mr Krugga]

Radeon 5850 (for £200) or GeForce 470 (£230 Zotac).

Ok cheers guys I'll see I if I can sell my card
