Greets,
my current specs:
Intel DX38BT Mobo
intel q6600 @ 2.8 ghz
corsair ddr3 1333 (2 gigs)
Sapphire 4850 1 gig
so i was thinking about grabbing another sapphire 4850 1 gig but im not sure if i would see decent performance increase in video games. ive also heard bad things about crossfire compared to sli. some things like Open GL games dont support it so it will automatically go to scissors mode....well, im not exactly sure what open GL games are, is that like directx? so if i was on windows would i have to worry about that?
i would also like to know what other potential "risks" i could be taking if i went crossfire. i believe i have a sufficient power supply (corsair 650 watt).
one other thing im curious about but not too sure about is would i end up with a 4850x2 basically? i dont think so but again, im not sure.
