So I have a XFX 5870 XXX right now.

The question is, if you had the chance to get a pair of GTX 470's for about the same price as it would be to get a second 5870, what would you do?

Simple enough question, please keep it civil. :)
 
I would get the two 470s, turn around and sell them, and then buy another 5870.

Two 470s will not outperform two 5870s, but will definitely be louder.

I 2nd the do it and sell them thing. Then get another 5870 and still come out way ahead.
 
Get them, sell all three cards, buy two GTX 480's.

Two GTX 480's > Two 5870's in more games than Two 5870's > Two GTX 480's.

And going into the future, the 480's have a little more headroom.

You could also tri-fire the 5870's, but I believe you'll have diminishing returns.
