I havent even owned the 4870 formore then 3 months and now this 5870 comes out. Should I just wait until the prices come down since all this games that we have now dont even support dx11. I mean my dream would be to get a 5870 x2 on oct 22. and well my wife already gave me the ok lol so I can get it. The thing is I havent even played with my 4870 enough to even make it go its knees. I mean i've played crysis and farcry lostplanet. etc etc. and i love the quality on it. I just thought that with the 4870 to i could max out everything and i mean everything on my ati settings and ingame settings. Also if Its not a good idea to get me a 5870 right now what is the best graphical settings i should set my 4870 on. you know quality , high quality or custom settings?

ps/ I know the 5870 is a powerful card I just dont want to be wasting money when I havent even played enough with my 4870 1gb

maybe you should keep your 4870. if you ever encounter games (except crysis) that will make your 4870 struggle then its time to upgrade :D

Sometimes the rule is buy a newer card when the one you have can't run the games you play.

4870 is still a very good card to hold onto. i think u better hold on ur 4870 for a while as u can play almost any games max out with that card
