In exactly the same boat here.
Like has been said above, I will wait for the beta and see what settings my XFX 5870 can handle. If I am not happy I will probably get another as it will be the cheapest option, though I would prefer a single card.
The fact is that is should be able to handle it as it is a very good card. The new frostbite engine is more optimised so even though the graphics look much more amazing than BC2, I do not think it will need much more GPU power to run.
You just need to look at the latest Steam survey to see what most people are running - http://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey
A 5870 is up there in the top 2% of users. No need to worry too much. The card that most people have is a NVIDIA GeForce 9800!
