ATI 6870HD has reasonable power for the money spent.

2 or 4 GB extra memory would be useful, but only if you have 64-bit OS and your mobo has the room. >8 GB is not yet really required for gaming (unless you have something like a MMORPG client, Photoshop, video editor, Internet browser, IRC client, etc. all running simultaneously while playing the very latest games).

now I have a question too, someone here played BF3 with HD6950? I'm wondering if the 1 Gb version will be good enough along with Phenom X6 3 Ghz and 8 Gigs of RAM (that's what I'm upgrading to, and I'd like to run latest games, ie BF3, smooth)
