Limited PvP -> PvE Free Character Transfers
The Cataclysm Classic Pre-Expansion Patch Arrives April 30
Why is it so hard to find a Mythic raiding guild that isn't full of toxic people?
Did Blizzard just hotfix an ilvl requirement onto Awakened LFR?
What's the state of PvP like today?
MMO-Champion
My buddy won an HD4870 from a gaming tournament, and I previously purchased an HD5750 which I am running in my system at the moment...
He has no use for the card or is just too lazy to install it himself, as he doesn't need anymore performance because he only plays wc3 Dota,
I bought the card from him for cheap, is it possible or worth it to crossfire the two cards? or would I be better off selling the card and picking up another 5750?

Unfortunately, no. Much like its rival nVidia with SLI, Crossfire requires alike GPUs to accelerate 3D games and applications. There are some underground hacks and workarounds to this limitation, yet keep in mind even if you succeed in finding, activating and using such an implementation, your multi-GPU setup will only be as fast as the slowest card.

The 4870 is faster than your 5750, but doesn't support DX11 and all the other crap.
Might be something to think about.

WoW doesn't take advantage of SLI/Crossfire, and your performance may DECREASE while using two video cards.

Wonder which would perform better in WoW with DX11 mode enabled though.
