Advice...

Basically, I don't game much, and to be honest I do not really need a new GPU, but I like changing GPUs often (I have had 4 GPUs in less than 12 months on my main machine, not counting the other machines!)

I nearly bought a X2 on release day then logic kicked in. Now I am "convincing" myself that I should get a 4870 instead, or maybe 2 x 4850s. I was going to sell the GTS to offset some of the cost (this is just an excuse to convince myself let's face it) but the other half would probably love having it in her machine rather than me selling it.

Money is not a problem, but logic is. Keep the GTS for a while? Get a 4870? 2x4850?

I game at 1920x1200 when I do.

tbh, if money is not a problem then 2 4870x2's! but keep your current card if you don't game that much

Within logic it would not be a good idea (same principle as why I have a Q6600 and not a QX). I probably game 1-2 hours a week.

Other half would probably think I am crazy for spending that much, although she can easily spend that on a bag...

I am entertaining getting a 4870X2 again...need to resist.
