p35 is 2 x16 slots but with crossfire it slows down to 2 x8 slots
If you want crossfire with full speed you need x38/x48/x58 (and I believe p55)
Ta for that  Will double check what it is tonight .... Could end up, upgrading whole PC lol |

just had my student loan come in, pretty tempted myself. Going to wait for 5850 to drop below £200 again though.
Will prob be getting an SSD for my laptop first as well.

hmm, dabs have some asus radeons coming in in 5-7 days, at very good prices. 5870=£292, 5850=£206
3 year warranty + steam code for Dirt2. Asus cards have higher BIOS overclock limits too so you don't need to invalidate the warranty by flashing them.
And if you use quidco you get 5% cashback.
very tempted now,

EDIT... Most games havent got past DX9 yet anyway So why go for DX11? My systems nearly a year old and can still handle current gen games with ease, seems like a bit of a waste of money for just a bit of epeen IMO. |

My systems nearly a year old and can still handle current gen games with ease, seems like a bit of a waste of money for just a bit of epeen IMO. Had to buy a GFX cuz mine 'is bost' DX11 is not why I bought it.... I last bought my graphics card when the more x's in the name the better, i.e. the top of the pile was the "XFX 8800 GTX XXX" (hence i bought the ultra which was deemed better). I've just applied the same logic... more X's = Better  |
