It'll be a fair bit slower. In a lot of things a 5570 is slower than a single 3870.

You want to be looking more at a 5750, which is about twice the speed of a single 3870 in most things.

You know whats funny, is at the time on this forum these cards where slated so much, but it seems this amount of years later a £70 odd card, is still slower.
Takes over a £110 card to compete, quite suprised at that really considering all the flack the 3870x2 got.

TBH at current pricing you'd be better off looking at a 5770 to replace your X2 anyway. It's only a fiver more than the 5750, and the 5770 will soundly beat that X2, while using less power, running cooler, and lots quieter.:)

Its only for a second machine anyway, to be honest only really browse's the net. dont really turn my games machine anymore, only really wanted to cut down on power usage.
