I forgot to mention I'm getting a Corsair 750tx next week. I have to get that before I can even try crossfire. I'll let you guys know how my new system runs in a week or so.

Well.....I had Tri-Fire 1GB 4870's are one point.....then went to Crossfire as I put one in my girlfriends rig.....then both of mine died in a horrible accident (too many mhz! LOL) so I got myself a cheap GX2.

All of my cards had FC blocks on them....I will try and get some pictures up later if I can find them, if not I'll take pictures of the dead cards.

Well, I have a measly 4830 crossfire in my I7 920 system. Can I join the club?

Would like to upgrade when prices drop.

Seriously though, they work great and and have now problems with any game at 1920x1200.

Currently playing Mass Effect 2 with 16x AF.

well if they run the things you need, then why upgrade? but i guess the obvious choice would be either 5770s in CF or a 5850 ? but yeah, it all depends on one's economy

Sorry for the quality, it was taken from my phone. The wire that is over the two cards is to the ATX, when I had it custom made, I had to rewire a lot of stuff to make it fit. I could've re-route it better, but I was too lazy

Benchmarks O/C to 1000/1300

Am I doing it right?

I am quite surprised by my two HD5670s. I can run the Mechwarrior: Living Legends total conversion for Crysis at Very High settings at 1680x1050 with FPS around the 45-50 mark. Granted, the game itself has larger maps and view distances, so it bogs down to around 24-25 average fps at those settings, but I don't play Crysis - I shoot 'Mechs

And yeah, 2GB each. I would have probaly get the same performance with the cheaper 1GB versions. But hey, I wanted something special xD There arent that many people that can say they have 4GB vRAM in there computer and a whole lot less that can say they're single GPU cards

Yup, I can run GTAIV on Ultra High, all settings to max and still be in the green. To bad it doesnt support Crossfire. Crysis isnt much of a problem too, atleast if I keep AA to a minimum. Lets say 2x AA on Very High Dx10. I have yet to experience lag.

The only game that lags is Metro 2033, but I doubt thats my cards and it only does it in fire fights so I dunno.

strange, i can almost maxx metro out in dx11 with my 2 5770s in Full HD, and they dont lagg in anything?
what driver are you using?

those temps are crazy, guess the vapor cooler is REALLY good haha
