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.

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)

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)
