What do you guys think about this card?
Newegg.ca - SAPPHIRE 100296HDMI Radeon HD 4670 1GB 128-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card
My mate has one and he runs bioshock 2 nicely, i was thinking of getting two of them. Should I get two of these moderate cards or go straight for one heavy duty card? Thanks.

Re: graphics card advice
So you can't get two cards, Since that's not a Crossfire board. I'd recommend a HD 5770 (if your budget allows) or if that's to much a HD 5670 would be decent. It would also help if you listed the rest of your specs (PSU, CPU, Ram, etc). Also what you planned on using this thing for? (HTPC/Gaming/Work)

Re: graphics card advice
Any 5770, but yea if your looking for crysis on High then that will pull it (depending on res, anything below 1680x1050 should be fine on all high w/o AA)
