I am about to go xfire but I'm at somewhat of a stump.
I already have the EP45-UD3P mobo so I'd like use it for xFire,
which is why I'm not going to just get a GTX260 (although it'd still be fine).
so disregarding price which is better,
HD4830 in Xfire
or
Hd4850 in xfire
I know at first the answer seems simple so before someone shoots an insult at me let me explain.
as a single card I know the HD4850 is a no brainer but
I can't find any newer reviews of an HD4850 xFire set up so forth all the results aren't great in the review I can find because the drivers weren't ripe, the HD4830 came out AFTER the HD4850 so the HD4830 xFire reviews are impressive because the drivers are newer versions and better optimized for the crossfire.
Now I don't want to just assume the HD 4850 in crossfire is going to scale the same as the HD4830 with newer drivers so could I can some clarification?
as it is now from the reviews I've read the HD4830 crossfire rig would easily win but the HD4850's reviews aren't current so I have nothing to go off of.
