Microstuttering w/ CF 4850's?

[Lenny_D]

I'm rehauling my system with a 700w PSU, E8400, ASUS PQ5 Pro, and a new videocard(s). I'm either going with a single 4870 or dual 4850's. The 4850's will be running at 8x8x in CF, but from what I've read and heard this only correlates to a 2-5% decrease until you better 1920x1200 in resolution. My question is this: what will yield better performance for a dual 24inch monitor setup? And my second issue deals with microstuttering - will it be evident with the new 4850's, or has ATI dealt with those issues with this last round of releases?

i had no evidence of microstuttering that i could 'feel" or "see" with 4850 xfire.

So would you recommend the xfire setup over the single card solution?

2x4850's is alot faster than one 4870

Anyone else?
