I'm still running an ATI 4850 and have often toyed with the idea of hooking another X8XX up to it, just for an extra bit of juice, but a quick scan tells me there isn't really anything available anymore unless I go second hand, which I'm reluctant to do, I must say.
If you can get a second hand ATI 4850 for real cheap, maybe, but I wouldn't really consider it. You can just buy a brand new card for not too much and you would most probably get better performance from the one new card than both old ones combined. It's already several generations old.
