For starters how about more information? What are the rest of your system specs? What games will you be playing? What resolution?
 
Oops your right lol:

MB Asus P5K Pro P35
Typical res for gaming 1680x1050
Soundblaster XFI extreme music

WD aks740gig sata HD
Game played: Oblivion, FEAR Combat, UT2004, UT3, Crysis to name some

How much are you looking to spend? If you're in the 200-300 range, I'd say it's worth comparing the 4870 and the GTX 260 Core 216.

I couldn't give you too much information on the x2 cards though...

In The Price Range your talking about, and considering your Gaming Resolution, you really can't go wrong with the HD4850(When Running Between 1680 X 1050 and 1920 X1200), and if AMD comes out with a 4850X2 at a reasonable Price Point, and right now it's looking to be a Real GTX280 Stomper, and should be about the Same Price, or less than 2 Crossfired 4850's and while the New GTX260+ is a Tempting Upgrade, the 9800GTX+ is not.

Exciting Times are just around the Corner, your Card is still Very Good, and New Cards in the Channel are going to be Real Barn Burners, and I hope not Figuratively, either.
