Two Radeon HD 5870's in crossfire?

[Mike_Yates]

I bought Two ATI Radeon HD 5870 graphics cards off of newegg. They arrived a few days ago. What are the highest playable settings I can run Crysis at with those cards in crossfire?

How much more gaming performance will I notice between having a single HD 5870 and Two in CrossfireX?

I've seen youtube videos of people running Crysis at 1920x1200 resolution with 8x AA enabled, and they are getting between 30 and 50 frames per second. Very impressive considering how taxing Crysis can be on a system's hardware when played at high graphical settings.

I should be able to max out all the other games like Fallout New Vegas, Bad Company 2, Far Cry 2, and others.

Crysis is the most hardware-intensive PC game on the market, if you can max it out, you can max out any other game. Except Metro 2033.

My other system specifications include the following.

Core i7 930
6GB DDR3 1333MHz tri-channel RAM
ASUS Sabertooth X58 motherboard
Corsari TX850 850W power supply
DVD-RW disk drive
2TB Hitachi 7200RPM HDD
Coolermaster HAF 932 case
Windows 7 home premium 64-bit

And this helps you get laid, how exactly?
