Yeah, I think you're right. Saving money and getting a new card is definitely smarter.It can in theory work how he's saying, and in some systems might well do, but I think you'll find it varies. Sometimes crossfire will cause problems if both cards aren't run at the same speed manually. It depends on the motherboard and game I believe, plus your overall set up.
But the stronger card will never quite hit 100% as far as I'm aware due to the very nature of how crossfire works. But again, it's been years since I dabbled in all that, so clutchy is probably right having done it.
It's a viable upgrade though if you really need to, but with the rig you have I think I'd save a little more money and just buy a decent new card. But of course, I know the feeling of wanting an instant few more fps, so if you are looking at a cheap card then it's worth a try
But first give your machine a clear out and tune up if you don't regularly, you'll be amazed at what can be achieved through some simple maintenance.
Maintenance isn't really a problem. I reformat my PC about every 6 months and keep it clean and updated. Contrary to my laptop which is a mess but I don't feel like reformating is really worth it because I only use it like once every 2 weeks for an hour or two.
