4850's in Crossfire or GTX 275

[Bayougoula]

Hi,
I am bit confused here. I have a Radeon HD 4850 card working on my PC. I am searching for some nice upgrade. But on the same hand I does not want to loose the the older hardware also. I want to add some extra performance to the 4850. For that does GTX 275 can be a suitable on Crossfire support. But I am not sure about the same. I need some help here.

While NVIDIA has launched two new high-end cards, the GTX 260 and GTX 280, ATI also unsheathed his new generation of cards the Radeon HD 4000 available in two versions, the Radeon HD 4850 and Radeon HD 4870. Based on the RV770 GPU designed for mid-range, these cards erase the faults of previous generations and are designed to provide excellent price / performance ratio.

I decided to resume our old test machine based on a Q6600 clocked at 3 GHz, 2GB DDR-2, mounted on a motherboard from Gigabyte X38-DS4 to to see what was in terms of performance with one card and CrossFire. Everything is in a chip of 260 mm, a surplus of 36.8% compared to the RV670, which is pretty impressive when you consider that most units had their cut almost doubled. An effort seems to have been done on effectiveness.

For a 22" lcd a GTX 280 is unnecessary, it would be operated under power, and the crossfire same thing, so could you the choice between a GTX260 and may yet agree or HD4850 or HD4870 then. You will save like that. I had purchased Antec case for the future perspective of future overclocking and installing a second HDD (I also like the adjustable side and the assurance of power for next two years I spend in SLI or not).

I just saw that my GA P35 DQ6 Crossfire compatible. I knew that the card is not on SLI so I thought it was the same for crossfire but a prior I am wrong, I'm going to add a basket in 4850. I understand what you mean but do not forget that I am rather demanding a better level. I usually put everything back, except filters and played Crysis and Age Of Conan.

I have a Sapphire HD4850, I want to CrossFire, but I was wondering if I should put the same 2 cards, or if I could put a Sapphire Toxic HD4850 in OC factory with a better cooling. In fact, I wanted to save 2 basis Sapphire 4850 single, but I fear that all too hot in my lap. By cons I have not monitored the temperature of the GC I do not know what to use as soft.
