3870 with 256 bit bus and DDR4? Quantity of RAM has zero to do with performance so slower DDR3 with is it a 128bit bus? I am mobile. Only at best on very high resolution?

Anyway follow this link and pick the two cards. Then input the memory speeds and all and read the numbers.

If this is to far over budget id get the 3870 for better performance, or 4670 since it doesnt need extra power from pci-e connectors.
