^ +1. The x850 doesn't support SM3.0, and the x1650 is a lame duck.

He says he has the "crossfire edition", but only in fact has one card lol. You can sell them for a better video card, or keep hold of the better one and wait to upgrade the whole pc at once, as it looks like it could need it :)

o another good thing about the crossfire ED card is its made so that it ajusts to the clock speed of the slaved card so i got it clocked at a x850 xt pe thats y its like that in my sig lol also i got 3 other systems thats my most used rig i got listed lol i got a mother of a rig coming :P just desideing what to do with all my old parts lol and sell them i whouldent get more the 50$ for them lol id rather buld a rig and sell it and make more lol

the x850 is faster then the 1650pro however the r480 doesnt support shader model 3. As long as the games you plan on playing are not shader model 3 baised games the x850 would be the way to go

a single x850 eats a 1650,1650 is low end these days, as said, sell all 3 and get a 4850 for $150. or wait, i assume you got an AGp board..
