I currently have a 4870X2 running solid at 845/1080 and I'm about to pack it up and ship it off to the new owner in the morning.
I was intending to buy Jeremy's sweet 5870 at a even sweeter price but being a uneducated person on GPU's I dragged my heels and missed out on a really good buy.
So I ask what should I buy to replace my 4870X2?? I really want a 5970 and can get one barley used and a water block for 750 shipped, a tad more than I wanted to spend and I'll need a new PSU to power it.
So with that in mind I was toying with this idea, single 5870 now and another 5870 to crossfire down the road or should I jump ship and see what the 480 fuss is about? I try to buy the best I can when I upgrade so I'm set for a few years, I do not game alot and my max res is 1360x768 on this pos RCA LCD
I'm just looking for more GPU power than what I had and according to the chart at Tom's Hardware 5970,5870 or a 295GTX are my only options
