He has a 280 and has trouble in dalaran - but thats apparently because he has 4 gig of ram while trying to multi-instance on one box. 280 in sli should perform better than 4870x2 but not if the video isn't the bottleneck.

If you could give us more about your system I'm sure folks would volunteer input on the best dollar spent for performance on your rig.

This is a great community of very helpful people. You will find, however, that we tend to have little patience with people who don't try to help themselves first.

edit: I searched for 4870 and got 8 pages of hits and the first two posts I read each answered your question :/

we don't mean to be rude, its just that there tend to be a lot of people that don't do there research before posting, causing a lot of people on here to be kind of rude to to members. we don't mean to be its just when you see somebody asking a question that could have been answered by 5 min of reading it gets very annoying.

as for your original question. from what i have read (i don't personally have any experience with either card) both are just fine for WoW. as for SLI/XFire, i haven't been able to find any hard evidence on weather or not wow acualy takes advantage of either of them. some people say it does and other swear it doesn't. the only real advantage as of right now that comes from XFire/SLI is being able to combine the resolution maximum of the cards alowing for multiple high resolution monitors running out of one card. but with either of those cards as long as you have enough RAM you will be fine boxing on one computer, 4G minimum 8G HIGHLY recomended. if you could post some specs on the rest of your computer it would help us give better info too.

hope this helps some. ^_^

Ok, let me first start off by saying that I searched every page in the search forum before posting. The results I came up with were not positive for the 4870x2, however the reason why I insisted in posting this is because all those posts are a month old, some a few weeks ago.... Now if within that time frame a fix has been made, or if someone has been getting POSITIVE results with these video cards, then that would be great and I would like some feedback on solutions. Please do not assume I did not do my part, the results I found were "dated", and as for for these forums being very supportive, that is very good to hear.........but I did do some "lurking" and did found people being rude to each other ( which happens in most forums anway) but my own "personal" experience as a nooby was not the greatest........anyway, moving along............ I am sorry if I somehow ticked on anyones nerves, that is not my intention...my intention actually is saving myself from getitng video cards that will not be used for my purpose, which is multiboxing 5 warlocks

Computer Specs I am going to get:
intel core i7 920
Ram: 12 gb ddr3
Gpu: as the topic says - 4870x2 in crossfireX ( two of them )
Solid state drive in Raid 0 with a read time of over 250 mb per sec.
SOundcard X-fi latest edition.
Vista 64 bit os Premium edition.

Thank you all ....and hopefully no misunderstandings

oh and i plan on using two monitors ...one 1920x1200 res main monitor...and the other 4 characters on the other 1920x1200 monitor....24inches if that helps understand what i am trying to achieve.

Trying to multibox, and get high res and graphics sliders at the same time...
I want the game to look nice while i multibox basically over 2 monitors
