I am currently running:
Phenom II 955
8GB DDR2
Radeon 4850 512MB
I game on my 52-inch TV at 1920x1080 and feel that the 4850 is starting to hold me back as far as gaming goes. It seems like I am having to turn down the settings slightly to keep consistent framerates on newer games, and the card has never handled Crysis well.
I have thought about adding a second 4850 in Crossfire but have never went with a multi-gpu setup before. Would I be better off getting a single 5770, Crossfire 5770's or just going for a 5870?
I like the thought of getting the second 4850 since it is cheap, but it seems like multi-gpu isn't really going to offer great improvements on all games, but only on games AMD optimizes.
