Yes question is asked all the time but the answer is always so up for grabs.

4870x2.. what, 560$.. Im stupid and didn't order it from best buy when i had the chance.

Im going to be running on a 22" lcd, mostly just waiting for upcomming games such as diablo 3, and sc2, but for now just whatever on 1680x1050 probably.

Card thats gonna run good on that, alot ofpeople say 4870 is more than enough, but is it? or the gtx 280? idc maybe a cheaper card that will run good still?

HD 4870 is good enough for now but 4870X2 will be more future proof.

Point me in the right direction please? If your talking about paying 300$ for a 4870x2.. or one close to it. I only brought up best buy because it was on sale. Now its sold out.
