| Re: Question of the week: what will be your next graphics card? I voted for the 4870 in Crossfire, I'm not really a fan of dual GPU's but the benchmarks looked really impressive. I won't be building my PC for at least a few more months though so I will be interested in seeing the price / performance of the 4870x2 when it's released. But if I get impatient, then buying a 4870 card and adding another 1 when I notice a drop in performance is also an option.
Some people said they weren't too fond of ATI card makers, I have a HIS card and I like it, it runs cool and hasn't given me any problems. I do prefer Nvidia's control panel to ATI's though because of the memory used, but when I have 8GB's of RAM I won't really care about that.
Shame about the heat these new cards give off, but the performance / price is good so I'll be waiting to see a 4870 X2 review. |
