System Specs

Well, looking at it for what it is, a single GPU card that performs like a 4870x2 and a gtx 295 ... its a pretty powerful card. But its still $399 and a 4870x2 is $360ish. Scaling is always an issue, so that fixes the dual GPU vs 5870 argument, but lets not forget... its fricking $400.

The 5870x2 without a doubt will be a beast of a card, but its going to be a beast of a pocket killer.
I'm having mixed feelings about this one....let me end it with this, I'm really glad I waited and got a 4870x2 for $370, I really feel like I got my moneys worth after seeing the results.
