I'm trying to weigh up two graphics card upgrade options, I want to know which will give me the biggest framerate increase in games.

I have a single 4870 512mb and a crossfire capable motherboard (second pcie slot is limited to 8x speed), Im getting great framerates in all games except crysis.

I can afford a 5850, but I can also get another 4870 for crossfire. If I go for the second option it will mean I'll miss out on dx11, but will I have more raw power at my disposal?

I'd like to know what you would do in my situation, please consider the market value of these graphics cards, the 4870 can be had for < £90 wheras the 5850 is over £200.

Thanks for reading.
 
I game at 1920x1080, Im playing all the new games like bad company 2 with all the eye candy on, and Im getting great framerates, at least 60 fps in all games.
