True, you need a lot of space for 2 cards but fortunately, my casing is big enough for them. What i'm afraid of is the heat generated. My single R4870 if running without fan speed hack can easily hit 80~82C during idle. After applying the hack the temperature going down to 40~60 range (from idle to full load).

QUOTE(danieljoey @ Aug 14 2008, 11:54 AM) Fanless ?? wat cooler ?? Not fanless, it is a reference card with reference cooler. 80C is the normal temperature for 4870 without fan speed hack. I wonder why ATI has such low fan speed set on default. By increase the fan speed to 55, the temperature can be reduce to 40++ only. |

You required 24" lcd for 4870x2. If not, it is wasted.

for fps games, yes...
real strategy n rpg games, 4870x2 will perform fine at 1920x1200...even 2560x1600 DMC4 at 2560x1600   |
