Ati is best bang for buck easily atm.Especially if you have a crossfire mb.The fps in those games will probably impove a lot more in the next few weeks because of new drivers anyway, making the difference even bigger.
4870x2 is hardly more than a few FPS over 4850CF, costs $150 more, and requires atleast a $50 more expensive PSU.

How big is the effects on a CPU though, for example to compare E8400, Q6600/6700 and Q9400/9450?
