Crazy_Nate Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 See the other thread about using that many cards... If you really want four...get two 4870x2's. PERIOD. As a side note...are you buying now or is this Christmas money arriving at Christmas? If it's the latter, stop what you're doing and WAIT. Technology changes far too quickly for you to do a tentative build months in advance... EDIT: Ok, lemme put it this way. You're already thinking about space problems, and you expect this to be any less headache when you build? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 I'd get a 4870X2 and be done with it. Oh wait...I did that already. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puck Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 keep in mind they will have the 4850x2's out soon also! ...and at 400 bucks that card will have amazing price:performance. Like stated though, it is way too early to start planning a christmas build. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
