[alvine]

hey guys I sold my old case and processor on ebay and I thought I could get another 4870 to my system....do you think its worth it or wait for 5xxx / 3xx gtx cards to come out and get one single powerful card?

my system is as follows

*G.Skill 4gb ddr2 800 @954mhz
*Vista 64bit
*Intel Core2Quad q6600 @ 3.4ghz
*Antec TwelveHundred full tower case
*Silverstone 700w modular striker series
*ZEROtherm Nirvana cpu cooler
*Power Color Ati 4870 1gb ddr5 edition (800core/1090memory)
*ASUS 20X DVD±R DVD Burner
*Seagate Barracuda 500gb HD (2x)
*P45 ASUS P5Q pro
*Acer 22" (1680x1050)

Kinda hard to say. In my opinion 4870 XFire should be more powerful than a single next gen card.

Best advice is to wait until those cards are benchmarked. You wouldn't want "buyer's remorse".

The best advice is to wait for those cards to be sold because you either get a price drop or a better card.
