What can you expect of them? A lot of heat, a lot of power consumption and performance sub-par to your GTX480.

For $15??? thats a win no matter what performance you get from them far as im concerned. They will play any game out there with out to much issues at medium to high settings i would think.
You got a steel there bud. |

In quadfire with the latest drivers these might perform better than people are expecting.

Holy crap I remember my 3870x2. Baller card for 2008.

well you will want i7 just for the driver overhead and proper scaling lol but overall should be pretty interesting to see what kind of performance they can give in quadfire on modern games
you should set the rig up and bench it on some games. |

I remember his 7900GTX thread and his DDR1 overclocking with something like 3V on the ram to get 500MHz.
