    I've been thinking ... I want to upgrade my x1950 Pro but not sure which is best ... buying a new HD card for about £200 or getting a second x1950 for about £40 on ebay and use it via Crossfire. Which is going to be the better idea? With Crossfore, will I see a significant performance increase? Thanks in advance guys

    Nah my friend you can get your self a ATi 3850 for like £50 so worth getting that instead you will be much better off.

    i'll second Pimp's opinion. SLI really doesn't give exreme performance boosts unless your running really high resolutions, that and your card is around 2 generations old now.

    Im partial to the 3850 and 3870 x2 models since they pretty much remove the need for SLI for many games. I like having a little breathing room in my case.
