Just wondering if attempting to crossfire a pair of 4850s is overkill for playing on a 22" 1680x1050 screen? My goal would be to get framerates that are 60fps at a minimum, faster would be mostly useless, as I tend to play with vsync enabled.
Would I be better off with just a single 4850? I'm not hugely big on AA, but I guess that's a strong point with the 4850 cards.
Just wondering if, due to the lower resolution, if I would turn out to be CPU limited, and thus adding a GPU would be a waste.
Consider the CPU to be a 3.2GHz C2D, 1MB L2 cache, or better. (Planning on a couple of Q6600 rigs running at 3.6Ghz soon.)
