Looks like the 5870 is about half the price of the 5970, anyone know what the specs would look like if you were to crossfire two 5870's? Since 2 of those would equal a 5970 |
I suppose you mean performance?
The 5970 (or 5870 in Crossfire) is on average 65-70% faster than a single 5870. Some games scale very well, like Oblivion is ~80% faster than a single card, while some games only get 40% faster. In general it scales well though.
