Depending on wat flavour of NFS TS is playing:

Benchmark Results: The ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2 and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 295 didn't do too hot on Need For Speed: Shift, which is interesting to say the least. The game is very new, so it is likely that some driver improvements need to be made to these multi-GPU graphics cards. The ATI Radeon HD 5870 led the pack of cards by a decent amount as you can see above.
Seems NFS shift at 1920 x 1080 is kindda demanding for all cards!

This is exactly when/why i pulled the trigger on my current chip when SGD prices = $100USD
One of the best move i made hehe That said , A2X4 620 is also going for an excellent pricing here so good for end users!
