I have just realized, after spending an unfortunate amount of money, that my current setup will not work. I have: Asus P5E Deluxe, Intel X48 chipset Intel Q9550 cpu Corsair HyperX PC6400 RAM Win7 x64 750W PSU with 4 PCIe powerconnectors Matrox triplehead2Go Been running a single 8800GTX with good results, got another one cheap, and upgraded my mobo to the P5E. Then i had to upgrade my PSU. Both the old mobo and PSU was bought late this summer after a CPU upgrade. So, after being unable to enable SLI on the new system, and a little while on google tells me Intel chipsets are ATI Crossfire only. Getting fed up and NOT changing the mobo again, I figure I'll go for an ATI solution this time. So, will two 4890 X-fired work on this system? How is the ATI triplehead support? Anybody want a pair of 880GTX real cheap? |

Yes crossfireX 4890 will work with TH2Go. |

but getting a 5870 would probibly exhibit more flexibility, you could sell the TH2Go, and get a 5870 for probibly same performance as 4890 xfire, with less power consumption and fewer fps problems (because of lack of dual gpu scaling) |

yes he could while keeping in mind that the matrox solution even if it's hard to setup is not new while eyefinity is pretty new & like all new things has its share of stuff up for debugging just a quick look at the eyefinity forum shows a couple of issues here and there. |
