Worst thing that can happen with waiting is it will push down the prices of current cards.
Plus the mid range of the next gen will most likely be as fast if not slightly faster than the current best cards, and mid range typically is reasonably priced.

I would get another gtx260 for sli then, should max out aa/af on most games.
Great value cards for £120-£140 imo.
i was thinking about that http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-094-GW&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1235
as its crossfire, then when new cards come out that drops, i get another and then thats quad crossfire for cheap ?

It is a good graphics card. It trades blows with the GTX 295 sometimes but is mostly behind but not by far when so. Price vs performance it's better IMO than the GTX 295.
To buy the 4870 X2 now when there's cards on the horizon I would not suggest. For quite close to the performance you will be upgrading to with the 4870 X2 you'll come into touching distance with an additional GTX 260. Stick an overclock on both the GTX 260s and get even closer. The 4870 X2 will be faster even with the 260s overclocked but not by a lot at all and certainly not worth the £100+ price.
