    Other cards to crossfire with my 4870X2?

    I've got a 4870X2, can I use a 5770 or 5850/5870 with it, or do I have to stick with a 4870/90 card?

    Looking for most performance vs dollar on ncix.com.

    48701gb or another 4870x2

    You could pair it with a bunch of others, but would get bad results...

    I've never seen anyone test one with cards that match or exceed a 4870 1g, thats what i'm looking for really. All those other tests were with poorer cards mostly.

    u can do a 4850, 4870 or 4890, tri fire dosnt work to well though u would be better off getting a single higher end card like a 5850/70 and those will be faster once u oc them or getting a pair of the 58xx or a 5970

    I have a 4870X2 and I am considering doing exactly what you are doing.
    Please get back with your results when you put the 4870 in.
    Thanks!!

    i ran a 4870x2 CF with a 4890 and it scaled nicely...

    also ran 2 512mb 4870 and a 4890 in tri fire and it seemed to scale well too.
    This is my signature, there are many like it but this one is mine..

    Do you recall what your score is with
    just the 4870X2?

    I once had my 4870X2 run with a 4870 1GB.. scaled a little, but only in 3DMark 06
    Totally nonexistant scaling in games for Tri-Fire.. I'm a lot happier with my single 5870 (@1100 Core ) than I ever was with the 4870X2

    That run was a very long time ago tho...
