    Does anyone see any problems with having a HD 4850 X2 and HD 4870 X2 "Crossfired" and then running 4 17" Samsung SyncMaster 743B in 1024 x 1280 off the HD 4850 X2 and a 30" Samsung SyncMaster 305T in 2560 x 1600 (and later on maybe a projector in the same resolution) offthe HD 4870 X2

    From what I understand ... WoW doesn;t utalize crossfire or SLI AT ALL. Like zero support for it.

    On top of that, I highly doubt you can Crossfire 2 different cards, it wouldn't work.


    If you're concerned about multiple displays, either get a GTX285 or GTX295. Buy an OC'd version.

    You wont be able to run that many monitors if you are using crossfire. You should call sapphire and ask them about mixing the 4850 and 4870. Make sure you have enough space to fit the 4850 card. That card is pretty long.

    they only have 2 outputs each... i like to have the best... and if i want 6 outputs on only 2 cards i have to get 1 with 4 outputs were the only "real" option is the Sapphire HD4850 X2. and from my understanding mixing ATI and Nvidia in the same comp in no good idea



    it's been rumored that a HD 4870 X2 with 4 outputs will be unveiled soon,... but thats just rumors
