Tri-Fire

[Vyses1]

I own a visiontek 4870 x2 im thinking about getting a 4870 1gig. not sure which yet. is it really worth it? what is the difference between tri and simply another 4870 X2?

I'd say no, if your a gamer, you can only see what your eyes are capable of. You've already got a top of the line vid card! It can handle any game you can throw at it!!!

 

If your going for 3D video benchmarking, and you have the extra money, then it's up to you!

Triple crossfire is the limit before you start to get really diminishing returns. You should see a decent performance gain in some games, but I doubt it will be as dramatic as it is going from a single 4870 to two in Crossfire.

Gotta agree with dw here, two in Crossfire/SLI are plenty...more than that should only be for benchmarking towards a top score......
