I RMA's my old 9800gt and got an 5670 1gb, I don't know if those cards are "equal" or what not, so could someone help me out? Also I'm currently running a 5830, and I have a spare pciex slot, so I was wondering, Could I stick the 5670 in there as a physics card or something? Would doing so boost my fps in games?

Not quite...it's a bit slower than the 9800gt but faster than the 9600gt.

It's an ATI card, so you can't Phsyx it.

Check the Crossfire compatibility list. It's possible that you can Crossfire a 5830 with a 5670. They aren't nvidia cards, and you don't necessarily have to stick to "two of the same" when it comes to crossfire.

I looked around and it says that they need to be of the same series ex. 58xx+58xx=okay not 56xx+58xx=no-go...If you really can would you please post some links?

Hmm, try selling it to save for second 5830, even if you can somehow cf the two you are basically getting two 5670 which isnt any good imo or worthwhile.
