Should CrossFire my X1600 pro 512 mb or buy another good card?

Ok, I would like to upgrade my GPU and right now, I have PowerColor Radeon X1600 pro 512 mb and my mobo supports the CrossFire and not SLI. Should I buy another of my card for like 50 bucks or go for a card like 9800 GTX? will the GeForce 9800 GTX will beat 2 X1600 pros? THANKS!orrytur

One 9800GTX would absolutely smoke 2 X1600pros. The x1600 isn't really that good of a video card and is horribly outdated. Go ATI and get a 4850, or Nvidia and get a 9800GTX.

Will your motherboard run it? you need a PCI-E express 16 pin slot.rexs9

At this point, it's not worth it to CrossFire that card. If anything, try to get yourself a 38** or even a 48** card if you can.codezer0

I never thought I'd live to see the day...:P

I am as shocked as you.

I only said that because the OP'd have a nightmare on his hands trying to switch from ATI to NV unless they were going to do a fresh format.codezer0

Shouldn't be too bad if they use Driver Cleaner Pro.
