I built a new system and bought an X1550 to hold me over for the 4870s. I have a Q9450, 4GB of DDR2-1066, and an GA-EX38-DS4 motherboard. I can get two saphire 3870s for $260 shipped. Or I can wait for probably another month and get a 4870 for who knows...$350. I play team fortress 2 mostly now, but I want GTA4 when it comes out for PC. Do you think if I got two 3870s it would hold me over for a year or so?
Also, how are the Ati drivers now and which games are doing good/bad with crossfire?
