I was presented with a nice oppurtunity to trade my 4870x2 for enough money (265 euros), a deal that lets me get a new 5870 for just +30 euros.
Now... at first I said yes, and waiting to seal the deal coming monday...
But today I started searching and googling benchmarks and reviews... and I am not so sure.
4870x2 seems to be faster in most of them (1920x1080). Should I just keep the 4870x2 and wait? I will probably be able to buy a 5870 brand new during Christmas, and since I bought my 4870x2 used in the past for only 200$ (that would be around 140 euros)...
Bottom line, do you believe the 5870 will be a downgrade for me at that moment ? It's not like I can't max out all the games I want, I mainly feel like trying out the dx11 eyecandy.
Take the deal now, or just wait ?
PS : Any [H] review planned to compare 4870x2 and 5870? Or maybe fellow users who already got a 5870 to replace their existing 4870x2? How do you feel about it, how was the overall experience? Better?
