Nemo Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 It's time for a little mix and match and we look at XFX 5870 + 5850 CrossFire - http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/xfx58705850/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rourkchris Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 That was very interesting and beyond the norm of what we usually see. Kudos on the idea to test this setup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baulten Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 Very interesting tests. Looks good... but honestly, someone would be pretty dumb to buy a 5870, then CFX it with a 5850... when a 5870 is only $90 more. But nonetheless, shows that there are gains if you just happen to stumble across one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
