Possible X-Fire

i highly doubt it. amd hasn't updated their compatibility chart but i am [strike]99%[/strike] 99.42% sure they won't support that ever. they'll keep their rules about the first 2 numbers having to be the same. sorry :( you can definitely crossfire the 5870 with another one or another 5850 though.

No, you couldn't

However, you could get 2 x 6870's and crossfire them for less money, and about the same performance, because although a single 6870 is weaker than a 5870, because the 6870 scales in CrossFire better, you get about the same performance, but for a lower price
 
So what I have now is a 5870 Turbo and a 5850. One is HIS other is Diamond. And my Processor is a AMD Phenom II Hex Core 3.2Ghz. Would a 850w Antec Power Supply work with this set up? Or do I have to go bigger?
 
I'm sure the 850W would be fine. Total TDP on that rig is nowhere near that. Honestly, I'd be surprised if you top 550W in constant power usage.
