So I am debating whether or not to go by the crossfire edition card for my x1900xtx card.  I hear that if your not running like 1600x1200 its not worth it.  I have a sony xbrite monitor that has 1280x1024 dvi.  Will I get better gaming/graphics performance with this other card for my current games such as fear hl2 bf2 ect?  Or wait a while until a game comes out demanding the unique horsepower?  At 500 bucks a pop, I can go either way on getting the card.  I am a hardware junky so I natrally just want to go buy the dawm thing and have it.  But resource wise, I dont really know if I will gain on visuals and performance.  Like i said, i have the 1900xtx overclocked as well to the highest settings.

Crossfire = suck
SLI = Win

Since you run 1280x1024, Crossfire is useless for you. There would be a small FPS increase like 2-3fps in certain games, but CF and SLI really show their stuff in 1600x1200 and above.
