If you want some money go with 5770 CF it is better and cheaper than 5850 and little slower than 5870.
Wait semi-happy or wait empty handed?

Or even just one 5770 will be as good as a 4870...and you could crossfire later.

Yea, that is what I was thinking of doing by buying this one. But the 150$ is bothering me, and I know all the prices for GPUs are going to drop soon, so this weill resell for prob much less by then.

i'd still go with the 5770, the overclocking should give the card even more longativity and should max out most games just fine

I like it even better than the 5870 that I used to have because it runs a lower core voltage, and so is cooler and quiter, yet still amazingly powerful. |
Get like a 9600GSO or some older Nvidia card and when you get your ATI card use the Nvidia one for Physx
