Sapphire X1950 Pro ... worth buying another?

[spuff]

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 was a little off with the 3850 being £50 its actually £58 check this out: Gainward ATI Radeon HD 3850 Pro 512MB GDDR3

If that's on the expensive side then you can get your self a ATi 3650 for £50 check this out: Asus ATI Radeon EAH3650/HTDI/256M HD 3650 256MB GDDR3

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.
