I hoping to get atleast one 4850, but I would still like to have 3870x2. I found one for $115 :D But a 4870x2 would be really nice too.

I'm going to buy a quad Crossfire Motherboard (once they make one with an AM3 socket) 4 gigs of RAM, a PSU capable of supporting 4 crossfired 4870s.... You can tell where this is going. :D

You left out a single 4870 as a choice. =P
Oopsie!

Depending on teh budget the time I plan to upgrade, either 4850 or 4870, wit option of 2x.
And based on the downfall of hardware prices, 2x 48xx certainly is the way to go.

either 2 4870s, or a 4870X2 if I can get finance on em :) (or even a 4870X2 and a 4870 :P)

One or two 4870s. I'm going to have one pretty soon... :eek:

Plug: If anyone wants a 3870x2 (with or without and EK Full Cover block...or any EK full covers for that matter) send me a PM. I'm going to have the opportunity to get a second one soon, and only want to keep it for a few quadfire benches until my 4870 gets here.

I'm set on my video card setup for a while. My next upgrade will be a 9850. I voted 4870 anyway. Thats what I WOULD buy if I was in the market for one.

You just saw two beat out a GTX280. Go read the GTX280 reviews and look at the FPS rates, divide them by two, and compare to 8800GT.

Most likely the 4850, as it will have a good Perf / price.

2 4870's are 150$ more expensive than the 4870x2. so why would you go for the 150$ more expensive option for the same performance?

Because prices aren't final yet? dude, we don't even know the official specs yet :P

I think i am going to get a 4850 or a 3870 maybe a 3870x2 if prices drop if i can't get any of them then a 8800GTS G92

there have been many rumors on specs, all different. but the pricing scheme rumors have all stayed the same4850 at 200-250$, 4870 at 300-350$, 4870x2 at 500$ so again I ask why pay more for the same performance?
