    How much difference is there between the 1gb and 2GB? im guessing its not enough to warrant the price? I play at 1280x768 so im guessing that it wouldn't make to much difference. .
    As cat said the difference is quite big. However at your res, I dont see why you need to upgrade atm as single 4870 should be able to handle it quite well.

    I agree as my overclocked HD4830 was OK at 1280x800 with the demo so an HD4870 should be fine at around that resolution.
