Hi;

I built a great gaming rig a few years back. For the money I spent I would really like some insight as to anyone's thoughts (anyone fairly knowledgeable) regarding whether or not I need it. I know many will say just compare the specs but to be frank..I haven't seen any comparisons on a rig with two HD4870X2's. Since it was pretty cutting edge when built I just need to know if it will still rip on some of the newer games so that I can hold out another year or so before the new build. My setup follows...

ASUS P6T Deluxe (PCIe 2)
Intel I7 940 @2.93ghz
WD Velociraptors x2 in RAID 0
6GB Corsair 1600
A nice Coolermaster 900W PS (forgot model)
Monster CoolerMaster CPU heatsink (forgot model)
ATI HD 4870 X2 (X2) Four cards in Crossfire
CoolerMaster HAF tower
Windows Vista Home Premium (yea . . I know...)

Thanks for any help!
