According to my specs, should I upgrade to the new ATI 4870X2 now, or should I wait until Christmas? And will I be able to run EA's new horror game: Dead Space and Crysis at very high settings with the ATI 4870X2? Here are my specs:

Motherboard: ASUS Maximus Formula Special Edition
Sound Card: SoundFX 2
CPU: Q6600 Core 2 Quad 3.01 GHZ(Overclocked)
Video Card: EAH3870 512MB
Hard Drive: 500GB
RAM: 4.00 GB

My friend has the 4870X2 and it can run Crysis on very high settings. I think your processor is close to the same speed as his. If you want to make sure you have everything else to run it you can try this site:

but from the looks of your specs your should be able to. (with the 4870X2)

also if your waiting till december to get it, then yes boxing day is still a good day to get it, but mind you I wouldn't be suprised if ATI came out with an even better card before then.


edit: spelling

I run one of these cards. At 1920x1200, there's nothing it can't do. Assuming you don't use AA, it can also run Crysis at all high at 2560x1600 with a good frame rate. I'm not so sure about Very High, but at 1920x1200 or below it could certainly do it. This card sounds like the ideal partner for your build.
