Already have 5670. Another 5670 (Crossfire) or 6670?

[mborda]

Hi all!

I already have in my machine an ATI Radeon HD5670 1 GB.

I am planning to give a little boost to the graphic power of my PC, and according to my budget I have limited my choice to 2 possible options:

1) Another HD5670 to do CrossFireX with the one I already have.

2) HD6670.

I don't know if it's possible to do CrossFire between 5670 and 6670.

What would you recommend me?

Thanks!

Sell Your 5670 also And get atleast 6770 or 6790.... You will have great boost with 6790

I haven't heard anything on crossfiring different gen cards like 5xxx and 6xxx series.The thing is that the 6670 is different than the 5670.The 6670 has more stream procssor's and higher clocks.So I would think that it's not possible it crossfire.Just get another 5670 for crossfire and you should be fine.

What is the make/model of your PSU.

I'm here in Argentina, and not in a major city like Buenos Aires, so it's very difficult for me to find someone who wish to buy it.

Thanks anyway!

It's a OCZ GameXStream 850W PSU, so I believe it's ok for both GPUs

Thanks!
