I have one of each and fancy going crossfire so need to swap one for the other, any takers? (the 4850 has a custom cooling system fitted so it's very quiet and never gets above 60 degrees)

the wonderful about crossfire is that you don't need a matched pair, you should be able to crossfire a 4850 with a 4770 :D

Had no luck getting hybrid crossfire working as yet and I'm not sure it will between 4800's and 4700's hence the swap bid :(

hybrid is for onboard + PCIE, crossfire is supposed to work for any crossfireable PCIE cards
