HIS 4850 or ASUS 4770 Crossfire

[darkwing]

not to mention the power consumption 2 4770 < 1 4890 pa gihapon hehehe

ako plano mag crossfire ko,unsaman maayo 4850 or 4770.

ang ganahan niya crossfire with either cards, dili kay usa lang ka 4850 versus 2 ka 4770.

compare 2 4850 vs 2 4770. ignoring power consumption, why go for 2 4770? mas sulit ang 2 4850.

also compare 2 4850 vs a single 4890. kalayo ra sa 4890.

problem is how much faster? can you justify the 100w power difference and higher temps with only lets say 5% difference? then tag P5600 ang 4770 compared to P7900 sa 4850, if it justifies the difference, by all means get the 4850

rules for gamers (and for non-gamers alike)

1. Always try to avoid Multi-GPU (CFX or SLI) AT ALL COST - scaling and driver immaturity problem (software support), not all these are solved by an updated driver. settle for top-line video cards like gtx285 or price-performance rated gtx275, 4850 and 4770 (mid-high to mid cards)
2. Should you do Multi-GPU (for whatever reason), do not settle for mid to lower-end graphic cards issues. it may not be worth it.
3. Should you really wanted to do Multi-GPU (again, for whatever reason), settle for Multi-GPU, Single-Card setups like the 4870x2 as these are designed with on-card bridges and therefore much better, consumes a bit little power and does not eat up your pcie and u will be well below temp na makaluto ug itlog...
4. Should you really do Multi-GPU (again, for whatever reason nasad), make it a point to check at least weekly for an updated driver of YOUR DRIVER and YOUR GAMES (patches, updates, etc...)

Agreed. Mas beneficial ang 2 4770s over 1 4890. I mean man, 2x4770s is like HD4900 in sarcasm

Also, make sure naa kay kapalitan sa 4770. Lisud baya mangitag namaligya karon. The world is on a HD4770 shortage, so don't expect you can get it in a breeze.

mao gyud..... its like having dual channel Ram

well you can go dual channel 4890s if you have the money
