Which of my options would get me the best results?
I'm building a new computer today. The parts are sitting here on the table next to me. I have a question about my GFX card options though.
My current system has a ATI Radeon 3870 HD X2 which has 1GB GDDR4 (512meg per GPU).
My new motherboard has an ATI Radeon 4250 HD single GPU that is integrated.
Now would I be better off to dump my 3870 X2 and use the on-board 4250 and later buy another 4250 to run Crossfire or is my old card still better then then 4250 setup?
I see both support DX 10.1, and from what I can tell the 3870 HD X2 seems to be a faster card. I'm just not sure what the 4250 might offer over the 3870 if anything.
My thinking keeps telling me the newer numbered card should be a better card but on paper, that doesn't seem to be the case.
Someone educate me.
