3650 crossfire

[halem111]

hi
i currently have

amd 4400
asus a8r32-mvp deluxe
2gb low latency ram
ati 3650

now this system runs most games completly fine i can run tf2 on all high settings (1280x1024) at a great frame rate and play other games like mass effect on high setting, however im getting to the stage where im starting to feel i need a boost because i have just got crysis and race driver has just come out and that really pushes my system.

So would i be able to crossfire my 3650 if i bought another one, if i did would i be able to play games in direct x 10, and will i need to buy anything extra to make it crossfire

thanks

You'll need a crossfire bridge

And yes, it naturally works in DX10. Not sure of performance, as 3650 is rather weak.

You would prolly have better performance with a HD 3870 or a HD 4850 (even better).

Like dagger said, a 3650 is not a powerful card...

I agree, most often a single more powerful GPU is a better solution than 2 weaker units in CF. Also, CF or SLI is mainly worth it if you have a big screen. 24'' and up on which you like to play at high resolution 1900 x 1200 +.

2x3650 equals roughly just under a 3870 and means ive already got a 3650 isnt it wiser to buy another 3650

I would honestly be stunned if 2 3650's could match a 3870.
