I am putting together a new system and I have read all the issues with cards other than dx9, but the ATI 1950 is very hard to find. Has anyone used the ATI 3870 card (this is a true ATI card I can get). Any issues.  I don't know if it is worth the gamble or not.

The store I am using initially thought he could get the 1950 and wanted to know if he could, if I wanted Crossfire. Would dual cards make that much of a difference.

Thanks for any feedback.
