im completely rebuilding my machine, ive already got the mobo and im waiting for deneb for the cpu, but in terms of graphics cards should i be waiting or buying now? i was considering two 4850's in x-fire but i hear new stuff is about to come out anyway, also anayone suggest a good psu for two cards in x-fire?

thanks

dont bother going for crossfire, use the money to get the best single card you can, always double it up into cross fire in the future if needed.

I agree, get best single gfx card for now, theres always something new on the horizon, you're onto a loser playing the waiting game, just get what you need now

yeah if you need the card now why wait.?

better to go for a 4850 x 2 rather than 2 x 4850 in x-fire

cool thanks for the advice guys, ive found a 4870 1gb for 180, which seems a right bargain and its made by sapphire as well, looks liek im gonna go for that one =)
