Power of two

Please head back to the architecture dissemination if you want to know more of what makes the Radeon HD 5770s tick.



Here are two in one of our high-end testbeds.

Pragmatically, the dual-card solution shouldn't beat the single-GPU Radeon HD 5870 1,024MB card, because scaling in multi-GPU setups is rarely linear.

You will need a motherboard capable of supporting CrossFireX, of course, but that's pretty much a given now that Intel's 5-series and a slew of AMD chipsets all ship with, at the very least, two-way compatibility.
