2 4870x2's in crossfire would beat the Fck out of a 5870....i think

nope its slower a 5870 is faster than two 4890's crossfired, two 4870X2's in crossfire might be faster though

just to clarify... i may have misunderstood..

2x 4870x2's will outperform 1x 5870

2x 4870's will NOT out perform 1x 5870

dont worry mate..... its a pretty easy mistake to make

**thepizzaman** · 10-17-2009

yea..... haha thats what i was saying but its ok

also.... for the mobo you picked you will have to have ddr3 not ddr2... unless you change your mobo you will have to get something like this
VS2GB1333D3 G Corsair Value Select 2GB (1x2GB) DDR3 PC3-10666C9 1333MHz Dual Channel Kit 1333MHz RAM Speed, CAS 9-9-9-24 Timings, 1.8-1.9v VDIMM, Lifetime Warranty with Corsair. : novatech.co.uk
also...... idk how reliable that psu will be becuase thats way cheap for 800 watts... you'd be much better off getting a more expensive corsair, thermaltake, or ocz psu
just my two cents
