In just a week, Tiger Direct has lowered their prices to 180 including call of duty 4! Shocked

However....I must say my boyz of Dave's Techy forum came through. after extensive reading and comparisions of the big hitters out today: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon-hd-4850,1957.html I have decided that unless something drastic changes, I will be going with the 4870.

I'd wait to see what nvidia actually does as far as price wise before deciding on the 4870.

Wow! CL, I got you all wrong! You can make a rational judgement!

Nvidia can't do anything to compete with the HD4870 except lower the price of the GTX260 to $300 from $450. They can't do that. They would lose too much money.

ATI wins this round. Competition is back in the GPU market. The consumer, me and you, will get more bang for our buck.

Yea, nice to see some real competition in the vid card market these days. I have owned both ATi and nVidia cards, it just doesn't pay to be a fanboy of either camp. Just go with the best bang for buck, regardless if its red or green IMO.

It's because of the above card now being released, which is 80% faster.
