So I've got a new pc for quite a while now but I was wondering whether it was possible to have 2 4890s or maybe even buy a new gpu. I'm not really sure about crossfire though, I've never done it before.
My specs are:
cpu: i5 750
gpu: ati hd4890
motherboard: Gigabyte p55a-ud3 ([url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128412[/url] )
psu: Cooler Master Real Power M620 (620 watt)
ram: 4gb ddr3
os: win7 x64
I'd like to know whether it's worth buying another 4890, if I should, do I have enough power to crossfire? Also, my psu came with only 2 pcie connectors, and my 4890 uses both of them. Is it possible to buy another pair of those seperately?
Or should I buy a new gpu (and sell this one)? Which one should I buy then?
Well in one of the reviews for the mobo on Newegg it states
[quote]The P55 chipset is not built for SLi or Crossfire. You can run it, but you run into some limitations, namely that the second slot will clock down in speed, or you will lose the functionality of devices that are sharing the lanes.[/quote]So it looks like you might run into some problems.
is crossfire one of those free download games?

Hmm, alright then, should I buy a new mother board and another 4890, or should I sell the 4890 I have right now and buy a better one?
