ATI Radeon HD 4000 Series discussion

[Metroid]

ATI HD 4850 for $190 here.

If you don't want troubles stay away from CF or mixing different cards. The only options trouble-free are the 4870 or wait until the 4870X2 to see what this new interconnect brings to the party. I'm tired of people changing to ATI because of Crossfire in their Intel boards and then dissapointed. Then they say ATI is crap. No, multi-GPU solutions are crap.

Very true, however if it was only multi-GPU's that would be fine,the problem relies on the chipset as a whole. If the chipset is not stable nothing really works fine, Intel is reliable by far, never got any problems with Intel chipsets or CPU's. The good reason to try it out is the feature being on Intel chipsets. That is a good thing for us consumers.
