Don't do dual cards for this game, they give limited or no improvement in performance.
If you really have money burning a hole in your pocket go ahead and get them for some other games.
Most people here recommend getting 1 really fast card instead.
I can't recommend CrossFire. It simply doesn't work with City of Heroes. Instead, find the GeForce which costs as much as you're willing to spend. I can recommend the GTX 275 or GTX 285.
Necrobond - 50 BS/Inv Scrapper made in I1
Rickar - 50 Bots/FF Mastermind
Anti-Muon - 42 Warshade
Ivory Sicarius - 45 Crab Spider
Aber ja, nat�rlich Hans nass ist, er steht unter einem Wasserfall.
