Hey
Well i've got a choice between these two cards, 4870, or 4850x2, about 80 quid price difference. I play a fair few games, and am looking to play diablo, empire total war, etc in the future. Id like a future proof system too. For the card I also intend on buying a corsair 650W psu, is that enough?
And would the price difference be worth it for the 4850x2? I cant find any benchmarks on the two between newer games...
Or would it be better to get a 4870 now, and add another in the future?
Cheers

If you intend to play on higher resolutions, go for HD4850X2. Else be safe to play with HD4870. HD4870 is a good card.
