AMD has released a hotfix for the HD4000 series cards which is supposed to improve stability and performance. Most of the reviews I've read about the HD4000 cards have crossfire working fine and the scalability for the cards in crossfire is good, especially at higher resolutions. I'm definetly going to take a look at getting a HD4870 for my new rig, but I'd prefer it to have 1GB ram instead of 512MB (I plan on getting a high resolution monitor, so the added ram helps), if it's a popular card, I'm sure that there will be companies which offer the cards with more memory, better cooling, overclocked, ect.
