I've been thinking about adding an additional graphics card to my PC. I am running a HIS Radeon 4850 HD 512mb DDR3, Ive read when using crossfire you dont need to exact same card but the same series (4800). I just wanted to see if I would get the best performance with the exact same card, or if I were to get an HIS 4850(or 4870 DDR5) 1GB and if I should allocate the larger card to physics or rendering? Don't get me wrong I can pretty much max out any game with the OverDrive but I want better FPS at 1920x1080 and use tripple buffering. I have my opinions, I dont know if they're right or wrong so if someone could please help me out?
