So for two GPU's P55 is the better choice. And for 3-4 GPU's it's X58. Did i get it right? *edit* I'm about to upgrade so this was very usefull for me, thnx for posting.
Looking at those performace numbers ,its a shame that cossfirex scaling is really bad in some of those games.I am sure they will fix it up soon though.
No. Get X58, period. If you are going to spend over 700 dollars on just the video cards don't be stupid. X58 all the way
Hehe i understand that X58 is better. But for two cards they are just about identical, only with 3 or more gpu's the diff is getting bigger.
I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for that fix. They still haven't fixed the crossfire scaling with the 4870 series. I have 2 4870 X2's and I am getting ready to unload then and get 2 5870 cards. The scaling for the "quadfire" has never materialized. A single 5870 is performing as good as and sometimes even better than the 2 4870 X'2 on some of the games and benchmarks.
+1 My quadfire never worked either, total waste of money. Ditched them after 2 months and got my money back. Thank god for ebay. ATI make great cards, but their support is absolutely dire
Well unless your resolution is 2560x1600 you are wasting your money with x2 4870X2 cards. It's been a known fact since it's release. Or at least a known fact for me anyway.
Well, my reason for running at 2560 x 1600 is my 30 inch monitor, trust me you will need that resolution in some situations.
