4870 want to buy 5870

[kal20mx]

I havent even owned the 4870 formore then 3 months and now this 5870 comes out. Should I just wait until the prices come down since all this games that we have now dont even support dx11. I mean my dream would be to get a 5870 x2 on oct 22. and well my wife already gave me the ok lol so I can get it. The thing is I havent even played with my 4870 enough to even make it go its knees. I mean i've played crysis and farcry lostplanet. etc etc. and i love the quality on it. I just thought that with the 4870 to i could max out everything and i mean everything on my ati settings and ingame settings. Also if Its not a good idea to get me a 5870 right now what is the best graphical settings i should set my 4870 on. you know quality , high quality or custom settings?

ps/ I know the 5870 is a powerful card I just dont want to be wasting money when I havent even played enough with my 4870 1gb

if you have a good psu you can cf the 4870 and can max out everything i believe, i ono the 5870 x2 is gonna be expensive. 500+

maybe you should keep your 4870. if you ever encounter games (except crysis) that will make your 4870 struggle then its time to upgrade 😀

Sometimes the rule is buy a newer card when the one you have can't run the games you play.

4870 is still a very good card to hold onto. i think u better hold on ur 4870 for a while as u can play almost any games max out with that card
