powercolors on ebay and newegg are $170, ebay is $170 free ship. some of us here ignore the branding as the cards are all the same. but some hold true to their trusted vendors when it comes to their warranties.
but to aswer your original Q, 4870CF or get the dual card. but i think theyre a lil more $

no it wont.... HD4870 CF is old tech. when DX11 is here and your getting a new system. why would you get old cards and put them in CF??? get the newer tech get one of them now and then get another later. also HD4870 dont cale well in CF and consume a lot of power.
Originally Posted by /Fail 4870 CF definitely. A 5770 is roughly equal to a single 4870 performance wise. It has the added benefits of DX11 and lower power consumption, but 2 4870's in CF will crush it performance wise. |

Brand does not matter for the 5770's. These are all reference cards. All the manufacturers are doing is putting stickers on them.
