I have 4870 in my system..rather than upgrading my entire system again what are the merits of just adding a second card (you pick them up used for less than a hundred quid)

are the drivers stable now? do you need specific patches for games?

or is it really not worth it and should I just get a new card..or will the performance gain not be worth the cost?

and would I have to get exactly the same type of card?! manufacturer and memory size?
 
I was just looking at used card prices and as you say they are available for under a hundred quid these days

I suppose what I am asking is will spending 80 quid give me enough of a boost not to justify 200 hundred quid or more on a new card!

will a few extra fps be worth the outlay

I'm running with 4 gig and a q6600 at 1680*1050

I'm just not sure I can bear to spend a big wad of cash upgrading the lot to eke out an 10fps! (especially when I can see a 4870 buy it now on the usual place for 60 quid!)
