    One or Two?

    AX78.. with one HD3650.

    I can run a Crossfire Setup and am wondering whether to bother spending the extra £50 to get another 3650.

    Is it worth it for the performance boost? Will it boost performance? And so on... you get the idea

    I'm not sure what the boost will be like but do you feel you need it?

    If you want a boost you could sell the 3650 you have and buy something else like a HD3850 which you can get for £80 or a HD3870 for £95 which is in the bargains section right now.

    I will probably find it harder to sell a HD3650 than you are making it sound like. I'm a minor, so anything (well.. nearly anything) I do is vetoed by parents. Then, if it's to do with computers, it also gets vetoed by my older brother... who works with them.

    Now.. if I could run a crossfire setup with a 3650 and a 3870 for example, it's problem solved... I'll just keep the old one and add in the new one. So the questions probably should have included: what GPUs run in a Crossfire setup with a HD3650?

    Pretty sure you are limited to just the HD3650.

    Shame about not being able to sell it easily as people would snap these up at around £30 for HTPC's.

    You should get a healthy gain by getting another HD3650 but whether it's worth the £50, I really don't know but if it was me I probably wouldn't bother.
