4870 Crossfire or single 5770

[mlightsey]

I have a 4870 1GB, AMD 955 BE, 8GB DDR3 Memory, Asus 24" monitor.

Should I get another 4870 and go crossfire or get MSI R5770 Hawk and then go crossfire later?

Yeah run one 5770 for now and then Crossfire when you can get another.

Performance wise from cross 4870 to 5570 any place would show the difference?

crossfire 4870 = 4870 X2 which puts it at >= 5870 in games that have good crossfire scaling

4870 to 5770 is a sidegrade with DX11 compatibility

You won't be disappointing with 4870 crossfire. That will be a LOT of performance for only having to add another cheap 4870.
