Its a great video card should run most games on max but maybe not crysis.

| The 4870 is a much better deal. A 3870X2 will most likely be slower than a 4870 anyway. |

Oh yes, that's a pretty good graphics card right now. All you can really do right now to make it better though is to crossfire it. Don't need to upgrade that sucker for a while.
