As per thread title, I've been trying to decide recently whether it would be worth my while upgrading to a 5870 from my current SLi'd GTX280s.
Is there anyone here that has upgraded from a similar setup as mine, and was it worth it?
Basically the only DX11 game I am playing atm is BC2, but even in DX10 mode it looks fantastic and runs as smooth as butter with my 280s.
Would I be better off hanging onto my current cards for a while yet, or should I just go ahead and get a 5870 and sell these on?
I've already put them up for sale and I did get some interest too, but I can't decide what to do as I am really happy with what I have now.
I did intend on getting one of the new nVidia cards but after finding out how poor they are I've decided to steer well clear of them this time around, so if I do upgrade it will be to an ATi card which will be the first one I've owned since the Rage Fury Maxx!!!!!
Anyway, I hope someone can offer me some help as to what I should do because I don't know whether it would be worth it or not.
I am sure the cards I have atm would perform a lot better than a single 5870 in DX9/10 games, right?
