keep it until next gen. kinda a waste of money to upgrade right now. and like you said its hard to find a 5870 for a reasonable price.
Well yes, it is a waste of money until you realize it will double his framerate in BF3 for $180 or less ... if you went with a new 69xx card you would maybe get a 10-20% more max and couldn't crossfire.
I think people forget that when the 58xx series came out they were far above and beyond the previous generation. Heck the 5850 was $300+! 6 series actually reduced the amount of pipelines from the 5 series.
All I know is I can play 1920x1200 @ everything ULTRA (FXAA instead of MSAA) and I get 75-125fps no matter what on an i5 2500k in multiplayer with my 5850 XFire setup.
thanks for the suggestions and explanations. Looks like the best plan is to get another 5870.
