The gtx perform differently in different games. Although 2 of them should be good enough for just about everything at this point.

the best advice right now is to wait for the 4870 and then decide

I recommend you wait for the ati 4870, and see what it has to offer, its benchmarks should be out soon.


^--- beat me to it.

The problem is a single 4870 won't be anywhere near the performance of 2 8800gtx. The point of getting another old g80 card, which, despite decent performance, is 2 generations old, is so that the old card isn't wasted.

And even if money isn't an issue, you can't cf 2 4870 on sli motherboard. So the motherboard has to be replaced too, in addition to the old card, if you want better performance than 2x8800gtx.

8800GTX SLi will keep up with most anything even being 2 years old, sadly

If you want the best and have the money , go the 280GTX
