Going from a 2900 to a 4870 how much peformance would i gain ? a good example question would be, the 2900 pumps out just say 10 frames a second, how much would the 4870 ?
 
well it depends on the game and resolution...

but you will definitely see a nice increase, especially if you switch on 4x or 8x AA
 
Realistically it's gonna be at least twice as fast :), if not as much as three, but that depends on whether your in a CPU limited situation (i.e. low res, not many effects/HDR/AA etc).

Looking at your spec, the card will fly as long as your above 1280 * 1024 res :D (It will still be damn fast at any res anyway realistically :D)

Heck of an upgrade :D
 
should be nice performance boost + u will save some on electricity

i had 2900 1 gig ddr4 upgraded to 8800gts g92 512 mb and it was a boost and now upgraded to 4870 1 gig ddr5 so yea u should notice nice performance
