Next Card Up From A 6870

Hi,

I had my heart set on getting a xfx 6870 and maybe for xmas get another and go crossfire.

I was just wondering however what the next card up would be, perhaps 2gb of ram to make it slightly more future proof.

Obviously the new card will be more but I would to stay as close the that price range as possible.

Thanks
