| | Not at that price, no. A simpler 5970 would suffice for most gamers. |

| | Its a X2. If you truly want that much Graphics power, It would be much cheaper to purchase 2 single HD 5870s and crossfire them. Unless for some reason Crossfire is not an option. Look at it like this If my calculation is correct, that comes out to about $1300 USD. 2 Vapor-X 5870s in crossfire will cost about $680USD or 500EU 2 Toxic 5850s will run about $620USD or 454EU Theres also the 5970s in ATIs offerings for a single card ... not to mention some of Nvidias higher end stuff that would be cheaper. So, yea, I agree not worth it. |
