if you are planning on that, then go ahead and get the 2gb x2. keep in mind that the extra framebuffer wont add to your performance until you upgrade your current 4870.

on that note, it would definitely be more economical to get a 1gig 4850 and the 2 gig x2, instead of a new 4870 1gig and the x2. its unlikely that there would be a difference in performance between those two setups.

I got the card today and just getting everything set back (reformatted once I got the card) What is to hot for the card? Running 690/1100 and hit 78 at load. Never really oced before and most of the 4870's ran this hot in the beginning so wasn't sure.

Good luck man. I know how much that sucks. I had my mobo BIOS flash go bad and had to wait so long without a PC. It was borderline torture but I was so happy when I got it back.

So far not impressed at all with this card. It's so freaking buggy. I can't run 3dmark vantage because the second gpu test crashes and fallout 3 keeps crashing. Uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers twice now with no luck.

Uninstall everything ATI and install just these drivers: Click Here To Download

Make sure you have updated the drivers for your chipset and every other driver as well. It could be a corruption in the OS sometimes.
