Worth it to buy another 5870 at this point?

herpity · Mar 25, 2011

I have a Q9550 @ 4.1ghz in a rampage x48 foumralla.

The rig has a 1250W Psu and a single 5870.

I'm considering picking this up, worth it for me?

Two questions

What is your resolution and how many monitors? This helped me make my decision. The 5870 is still a very powerful card.

1. An Hp 25.5" 1920x1200 screen.

I play a lot of Crysis and Metro, and other demanding games.

Looks like a bargain to me.

Then yes or how about you buy my two for 300.00 plus shipping and have three of them?

They go for 200$ ea on ebay, toss it up there.

Pro tip: Sell them serperate.

The 5870's are a great bargain right now. Two in Crossfire will pump out some serious frames at your resolution.

I just bit on the second 5870.

Should be coming in soon.

Will bump threads with pics
