I'm considering buying two of those to crossfire in my PC. Would it be worth it? How much of a performance increase could I expect to see over my HD 4890?

Drivers are a problem with the 7xxx series right now.....As for performance that will be harder to judge since the cards are so far apart in generations....I'll say once the drivers are mature one 7770 will probably be roughly equal to the 4890.
I'll say as of "NOW" the 4890 will probably be better than both cards, due to the driver problems.....
In a short time however it will be more than worth it
