| yanamaster said: Well when it comes to computers i prefer to have all my settings changed to high/ultra high and like to have minimum 60 fps. So i get upset when i have a good rig and games like Mass Effect 2 don't run properly when i apply AA above 8x. Or when i have to scale down draw distance in GTA 4 (yes, i know that the pc version is broken and not optimized, just like the force unleashed, but still). Oh wait, i want to play future games without hiccups, like crysis 2, that's why i'm thinking about crossfire. Right now i have a very old monitor that cannot go above 1024x768 res but i plan on buying a new moniter with a tv tuner (why have two seperate when you can have 2-in-1 with all the bells and whistles?) that goes to full HD |
I play Mass Effect on an HD 5870 with a Core 2 Duo 2.4 @ 60FPS (vsync) with a resolution of 1920 by 1080. My suggestion is to go for a good single card because crossfire adds a little latency and doesn't always scale 100%, so a 5870 will be more consistant even if its a little slower in some benchmarks and that leaves open the possibility of adding a 2nd if you so wish.
