Is it possible to do a crossfire with a HD4890 and one of the new HD5XXX?? If its possible i'm gonna wait for the new cards, if not I will just buy another 4890 now..
No.
You can allways crossfire a 9800GT your 4890
You didnt answer, is it possible to crossfire a 4890 with a 5870?
Second post answered your question.
Okay......... whatever.... I'm gonna get a new 4890, but I dont know if it fits.... Take a look at this Picture: [img_thumb]http://img249.imageshack.us/img249/6783/img1822o.jpg[/img_thumb]
I dont know.. why a mini ATX mobo?
[QUOTE=carro;17128083]I dont know.. why a mini ATX mobo?[/QUOTE] When i bought the mobo i didnt notice it was a Mini ATX.... but you didnt answer me, do you think that a new Video Card fits? There is like 1 or 2 mm space between the actual one and the next PCI slot
ok, I thanks for that advice.... so I should get a 4890 with a thinner cooler and put that card on the top as master... and then my Vapor-X s teh bottom card... Thank alot for the nice idea.. So this isnt a problem that only mini.atx mobos have, cause the crossfire bridges are at a set lenght, right? EDIT: I mean, on full ATX motherboards, have the PCI slots more distance between them? EDIT2: Arent the toxic cards Vapor-X aswell?

And the crossfire bridges are flexible.

The owner of that shop is a friend of mine, he can get me that card without problems... and what do you mean by "They dont force the exhaust hot air out of your case"?
[QUOTE=Satane;17141190]Only with the normal vapor-x models. The toxic version has 2 fans (and 2 vapor-x modules) and it is forcing most of the air out of the case. [url]http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa72/Satane123/vaporx.png[/url] As you see... vapor-x is simply recycling hot air.[/QUOTE] Exactly what i meant :haw:
Ohh yea... Thanks a lot for that picture, i think without it u would have had a hard time to explain me that..... Is 160€ a good deal for a Sapphire 4890.. basic stock cooled version?
You can Crossfire any ATI card with any ATI card from the same generation. Example: you can stick a 4870 with a 4630, but you can't stick a 4870 with a 3870. That's one of the reasons I like Crossfire better than SLI, it's much more flexible.

Do both cards need to have the same clock? I mean, if one is fabric-overclocked, do I need to overclock the other to the same values?
