Have you looked in this forum and on Google for crossfire/sli problems? Have you looked on any game forums and seen how many problems users are having? Get a strong enough single card and forget about crossfire IMO. But, if you want a answer...supply your PS. ------------------------- Intel I7 960 @ 3.87ghz Intel DX58SO HIS HD6970 2gb Corsair TX650M 2x4gb Corsair XMS3 WD Black 1TB Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit Gateway HD2401 24" 2ms 1920x1200 *Asus N71Jq laptop Intel I7 720QM Processor Mobility Radeon HD5730 1gb 8gb Ram Windows 7 64bit *Acer 5750 laptop A clear conscience is usually a sign of bad memory *

zipsi Overclocker Posts: 695 Joined: 11/22/2010	IF the system has an adequate power supply, I would overclock that i5 to 3,5ghz (optional, but would help alot to rid of bottlenecks) and put in something between HD7750 - HD7870 depending on budget. ------------------------- Intel I7 3770K @ 4.5ghz, Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo, Gigabyte Z77X-UD3H, Gigabyte HD7970 ghz edition, 4x4gb Kingston HyperX Beast 2133mhz, Seasonic Platinum 860, OCZ Vertex 4 128gb, WD Black 1TB, WD Green 3TB+1.5TB, ASUS Xonar Essence ST, ASUS VE278Q, Windows 3.11
