Hi everyone, I have just got myself a nice 5850 and I am thinking of giving cross fire a go never tried it before. I just wanted to know how much more you really get out of cross fireing 2 5850's? I only have a 22" monitor so my max res is only 1600x900 so would i really see the benifit of cross fire?
hope you can help
Radeon HD 5850 review (CrossfireX)
That's one example of vs-performance on Far Cry 2, continue to the next pages and you will see the difference between Crossfiring and normal.
You are unlikely to notice a difference at that res for most games or programs.
If you got a big 30" HDTV for a monitor (or a few more monitors), and want to run a CAD program or something, then there WILL be a difference.

do it anyway - it's brilliant..!!
16:9 widescreen is excellent..

hmmm,
try running Crysis at Ultra High settings and you'll see the difference immediately, it runs completely smoothly, shows ALL of the fine detail and is totally fluid..
running a rig with high resolution screens is just another area where crossfire gives a boost, but it's not the only advantage..
Very High @ 1600 x 900? I'd prefer High @ 1080p.hmmm,
