    I agree but if you can spend a bit extra go for 5770, much better card for a little bit more money.

    The 5670 is still ok card.

    When do you expect there will be a major price drop on the 5770?

    IMO, not for a while , i think they have all the price ranges covered right now, maybe when they release some new cards.

    I don`t know, i think it is better to have 2 of the same cards in crossfire.

    No. It would be better than a single 5670, but that's not going to be "very good" and on occasion crossfire actually causes problems depending on the game/app. Multi-gpu usually makes little sense unless you happen to stumble across the second card at a big discount, or if you want more than a single top-end card can provide. When you're ready to upgrade, simply buy the best card you can afford and either sell the 5670 or stash it in a corner as a back-up card. In another year its entirely possible a whole new lineup will be out or 'coming soon' which will render all of your current plans moot anyway.

    Hmmm do you think that if I bought the 5770 than I wouldn't have to upgrade for a longer amount of time.
