Default Re: 4870's are on the loose!!

I may have to consider it (in Crossfire) for my Ultimate PC build...after comparing the specs between it and the 9800 GTX (in SLI). If I do choose to go Crossfire, means I'll have to choose a board that supports it.



Main PC: Intel Pentium D 930, Asus P5LP-LE, 2GB DDR2-4300 RAM @ 4-4-4-12, Lightscribe CD/DVD Drive, DVD-ROM, 300W PSU, GeForce 7300LE, Hauppauge WinTV PVR PCI II, HP Media Drive Port, 300 GB Hard Drive
Laptop: 900 MHz Intel Moblie CPU, 512MB RAM, 4GB SSD, Intel 910 Motherboard, Linux OS (customized by Asus), 8.8 x 6.5 x 0.9 inches, 7.0 Inch screen, integrated camera, 2.0(without power cord)/2.4 lbs.(with power cord) _________________________________________

And that's every board that's worth a darn.

Not the Asus Striker! It's an SLI board.

I would rather go with the EVGA GeForce 790i Ultra. That's another SLi board, but it beats the Asus Striker II Extreme in gaming tests, though apparently the Striker II is a better overclocking board.

I said worth a darn though. The striker is below the average darn mark. Even so, you can run a 4870 on it. Get an HP blackbird and you get Crossfire on an nVidia board.
