				| Get the 4870 or NVidia equivalent (somewhere a bit above the 9800gtx) if you ever plan to use Linux and don't want to have to deal with ATI. |  |

				| Rather, it's a type of vacuum tube and a quantity. A configuration, perhaps. |  |

 Do you think i really need DirectX11?
 Because i hear the 5670 was somewhat of a bad card :/ I want to finish Crysis Warhead T_T.
 
 Im on XP won't run DirectX11.
 
 You think i can improve 5670 overclocking ability if i got a

 Some people say is a gimmick, i only care about the 5x series because the lower tdp and increasing crossfireX scaling and more overclocking headroom. yet i still bough a 4890 for $150 USD.
