So we all know its tax season and I have that extra cash burning a hole in my pocket.

For the rig in my sig.

Im running my 4770 and really like the card, but wanna go DX11 for Civ 5, Dirt 2 etc.

Budget is $250ish

Newegg has the sweet deal on XFX 6870 w/ PSU

Im thinking a 5770 would be good enough but of course I wanna run benches and blow my old scores out of the water.

Other option is a 460 sli setup

Just curious as to what you guys think, would this CPU be able to keep up with a 6870??

Looking to keep this setup for 2 more years

Id go for a single card for starters. I don't know how well 2 cards scale with the prosessor you have right now. Theres are some 2 GB 6950s in that 250 price range and with a bios update turned into 6970s but can your processor handle such a beast of a card :)

your chip should give similar performance to a core i3 i would look at benchmarks with those
