Help me justify the ridiculous price tag of the visiontek 4870x2, I always hate spending $$$ on video cards because 3 months down the road they are $150 less.
I have a dell 3007wfp-hc, and I play cod4 and maybe cod5.
I based some of my decision on this http://www.guru3d.com/category/call_duty_4_pc/
I almost bought the 4870 and then would buy another down the road for crossfire, but it seems CS is not a favorite in the gaming community, and I did not want to hassle with it.
Here is the rest of my setup tell me if you think I need a stronger CPU to avoid bottlenecking. I can OC, but would rather just spend my time on the game.
ASUS P5Q Pro
E8400 3.0
OCZ Plat. 2x2gb 1000
corsair 450w PSU <-- Im rolling the dice on this
Thanks in advance
UPDATE
I bought 2 Gbyte 1mb 700mhz cards and will go the xfire route.
For my main purpose, COD4 it seems the 4850x2 2gb card, which is what I'll basically have. Results with the 4870x2 show not difference than a 2x 4870 setup so I assume its the same with this.
