Hey everyone,

Quick question, although not so much about overclocking...

I've realized that the oldest component in my computer is my video card. I'm currently running an i7 - 920 with 3gb of ram (which I plan to increase soon now that I'm running a 64bit OS) and a single Radeon 1900 XT. I've been looking at adding an additional 1900 to run in a crossfire setup. Seems to be a pretty cheap upgrade since I think I can get the second card for around $60.

My question is whether or not its worth the $60, or if I should just wait till I'm ready to replace this card completely (probably not anytime soon).

FYI: The computer is used for mostly day-to-day activities. I'm in school (so lots of office products), and I generally only play games such as Madden, FIFA and Need for Speed. I also use it for watching movies.

Thanks in advance!
 
Sounds like a HD5750 is what you would need for the next few years... ;)

Dont go Crossfire with those cards, they are not even DX10, none the less DX11. :)
