not very experienced in cross/sli ....but i doubt u can xfire a integrated gpu and a dedicated one

if u have 2 pci slot i think u need another 6790 and the bridge to connect them.....


i think

not exacly can be other card from 6700 series... they will only crossfire with other cards in their sub series. For example, GPU in the same series can be crossfired with each other... problem is thats 4200 and 6700 series :P

BTW. Crossfire is nicecheap option. U put together much cheaper cards than new one (in best option if application full support crossyou get up to 90% boost using 2 cards)u add overclock and tadammm you have better effect with these two cards for lower money than than with this new on market  ;D

P.S.  example for me crossfire works fine 280 fps when im running on some hb places  ::)

when i think about buying my new cpu and what it  exacly will have  "cards etc" i spend 2 weeks with check all options :o and best 4 months ago for graphic cards (QUALITY+CARDS COST) was 2x 6850 if you prefer radeon and if nvidia 2x sli 460(but this option was more expansive)[and ofc u can take gtx 480and almost boil egs on your 96 degress with less power or try gtx 570 for same price 60% less effectiv and much cooler ... orrrr much more expansive best card from market 580 gtx with same quality in many games vs 2x radeon 6850 not oc ofc when u check them in games for one game radeon>nvidia for other nvidia>radeon its all about application what you wanna rly use or games... and for example 'tessalation in games' nvidia>radeon... there are many factors that you must pay attention what you exacly want and from what company u take ;)

2years ago chose was much easier nvidia nvdia nvidia>radeon

My cpu capped 104 and the gpu 98 degree on my laptop. It makes the game lag like hell and create lots of freeze spikes. Im trying to find a solution to upgrade my pc with a good quality/price ratio

with more memory... u dont need be recycling  memory used...
image a home... if u have a big house.... and a room for stuffs....  if u have alot of space... u will have to organizate this? no... just if u need more space...

same shit for pc.... more memory = faster pcs

If you run something from memory only... but if the prossess is running from HDD them a slow disk can withhold the memory.
The other factor is the CPU... if you got a common 2core with 1066 FSB no matter how fast memory you got they will perform at 1066 (when needed)

So the best for performance is a Fast CPU (more FSB+More Cores=the best) Lots of memory with same speed as CPU to synch and an extremly fast Disk to run the prossess (btw SSD's perform faster)...  

EDIT : About topic... with crossfire you might get about 20 - 30% more fps depending on the setup... in my PC with an HD4890 (overclocked ) i get about 90-100 frames without to many ppl arround me, but in a siege i got 15 - 40 FPS

maybe in sersies 4000 works just for 20-30%  :o

my setup allows to 80-90%

example from  my test in starcraft 2 supporting CF

test with 1card 140fps xelnaga
test with  2cards 260 fps xel naga

all extreme and+this insane sh1t new option on resolution 1920x1080 (test using protoss rase)
