ASUS Rampage for HD4870? Overkill?

[rflction]

thinking of purchasing HD4870 w/4gb DDR2 800 ram. maybe upgrade to a 4870 cf in the future. i'm a newbie and not sure if i will OC in the future (maybe if i read up on it more).

ASUS Rampage overkill for me? What are the benefits of ASUS rampage vs some other x48 or x38 w/PCIe 2.0 x16 & CF support?

ask yourself this, why do you want it, and then ask your questions
