HD 4870x2 or HD 4870 crossfire??

Will the two be relitively the same?? What one's quicker?..

My resolution is 1024x1028 and i can get the 4870x2 for $160 more than a 4870, which is $450 where i live...

So my question is the 4870x2 overkill for my tiny monitor? and will the 4870 single perform all the games full at a playable res. and which one is quicker 4870 crossfire or 4870x2.

Youe help is appreciated..

I would say that the 4870x2 is, indeed, overkill with your moniter.

If you already have an HD4870, then I doubt you'll see a performance increase to upgrading to an HD4870x2.

if 4870 is $450 and the 4870x2 is 450 + 160= $610

DEFINATELY get the x2.

haha, i like overkill :D

I'm thinking about the HD4870, will i run crysis full? or still not? :(

might upgrade monitor in the future.. but still will i kill crysis with that card?

By the way, at the moment got no card in..

How come at NCIX (canada) they sell 4870X2s for 600 dollars?...

I have a single hd4870 and can max crysis (all very high no aa ) at 1440 x 900 so yes ,even a single hd4870 is an overkill for 1024 x 768Games_pro

Cool but its not 1024x768.. Its 1024X1028 a guy above got it wrong

If you really want to go overkill.

Then go for the HD4870x2 which seems to be better than 2 HD4870 in CF.

edit: But seriously, a HD4870 will be more than enough for that resolution.

128x1024? Uhm..Get a HD 4870.

EDIT: Get a HD 4870, and with the other money get a nice 19" or 22" monitor.:)

Hd4870X2 is overkill for your tiny monitor, unless you are a FPS freak then go ahead and waste the $$.

And is there such thing as 1024x1028? Don't you mean 1280x1024??

What the person said earlier, balance your budget
