They are old now and can't remember if they can even be crossfired anyway.

Go for something newer like 4850/4870..

 

[Randell]

what cpu have you got? No point getting crossfire if you're going to be cpu limited on just one card.

 

[rjk]

one single 4850/4870 will blow a set of old crossfired cards out of the water

4850 for £100 is really your only option unless you have about £170 then get the 4870 1gb for a res of 22" and above

Whichever is the cheapest, unless you're going for one of the fancy pre-overclocked ones or the like
