Are you upgrading to 5870 from 4870x2 or GTX295 ?

I've got 2 4870's crossfired. Do I count?

I'm kind of torn. I don't have a problem with the performance of my current setup, or the power draw, or the space it takes up, or the noise... But I'm a developer, and Direct Compute pretty much has me wetting myself. I'm hoping I can hold out til the X2 comes out.

Direct Compute isn't limited to DX11 hardware, so switching to the HD 5870 based on that doesn't make sense.
 
Thinking about upgrading not that the 4870 x2 is a bad card in anway , just Id rather wc 1 gpu vs 2 on my loop
 
I'm giving it some time after the 5870x2 is released, and then I'll likely go that route once the prices stabilize. I'm in no rush though....
