ive got the money to buy the XFX 4870x2 but was wondering would it be best to get a 4890 and a new board or stick with getting the 4870x2,all games will be played at 1900/1200,the board is this one cheers
Gigabyte GA-X48-DS5 Intel X48
p.s sold my 260gtx so have to get one or the other

I'd just stick a 4890 in and be happy with that

Or get something cheapy, and wait for cards dedicated for dx11, like the 5 series (hopefully)

I went from a gtx 260 last week to a 4870x2 and am very happy i did.Next gen are 6 months or more away and dx11 games will be few until a year or more.I wanted a 295 but the ati is close on speed and £100 cheaper so i went ati.Why change mobo just gang a x2 in there and your set.
