[QUOTE=DarkMatter;975970]That was actually a funny pointless (and egocentric) argument. Well newtekie already gave you a reason and I'm not really a fan of any brand, just the best bang for the buck, but if you really thought you had a point there, I'll give you another more important one (than yours, not newtekie's). In Spain GTX260 can be found way cheaper than HD4870. There you have. Overall sales in Spain are WAY HIGHER than on Greece, yet way smaller than the ones on the rest of the world. What I mean is who really cares the price of the cards in Greece?
Prices from Newegg. Are the first ones that appear when you sort them out by lowest price:
GTX260 -

The list:

HD4870 -
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814129113 - $260
The list:

Actually the cheaper one after MIR is the Palit one at $250 after MIR, but you can see the difference between both cards at this moment.
In the end is a matter of choice, but based purely on price/performance Nvidia right now wins hands down. Following your logic, most people in the world (based on number of buyers) shouldn't even consider the HD4870, right?[/QUOTE
i care only for the prices over here tell me why should i care about prices around the world
isnt that logical enough? im not trying to convince anyone to buy the 4870 because i like it! my point was that in my situation the 4870 is the best choice. and for your information until the 3850 i owned nvidia cards and i was very pleased with their performance. darkmatter i think that you missunder stood my point and i liked your above mentioned point. sorry if i pissed you off it was never intentional
