Nice I saw on newegg one PNY card GTX465 for $ 169.99 Recertified though and with free MAFIA 2 game coupon. I don't know what does that mean but hey its good deal. I would probably buy that. here is the link.

I bought one of those and it unlocked easily to a 470! :)

Would you take a GTX 470 or a 5830 HD ?
I'm torn I can get more stuff if I get the 5830.
My 4870 is going into my second machine.

There's a pretty big gap between those two cards. You should probablly find something in between such as a HD 6850 or a GTX 460.

And you think you are doing good things helping cure cancer with your folding, you are really causing cancer with the amount of power you are wasteing.
Wow, I would love to have a conversation with you if you subscribe to any form of logic. Maybe you are not the generous type that donates anything. Or maybe you have not lost a loved one to Cancer or Alzheimer's. I'll take the high road and assume that you were just playing the role of antagonist in a Nvidia based thread. Either way, stay on topic and please avoid thread crapping.

No shit dude. I have a 27" LG and worried how my 4870 will play on my second gamer with a 19 ". :D
Read my post and and let me know what you think I should do. Unless you are Nvidia biased. I have
gamed for 15 years and they have went back and forth. ATI right now is easier on your sytem, but I want performance.

I read your post and the 470 would definitely be the way to go, the 5830 is kind of the bastard step child of the 5850, and really has no place imo. Performance would be better with the 470, but of course another option is the 5850, as it uses less power and has a less heat output with similar performance. But of course with the recent price drop on the Fermi cards as well as the better drivers, that could turn you the other way into the green camp.

And your 4870 should run perfect with a 19'' monitor, as i myself ran a HD 4870 (512MB) card with my 19'' monitor and it ran my games nicely.:)

I think I'll spend the little extra and get the 6870. My case is cramped and I'm sure with the Fermi I'd have heat issues. I have started leaning more towards ATI as of late any way.
Oop's excuse me AMD. I do hate the damn driver issues , but I usually don't have problems updating them I just tired of doing it.

I've been looking at the GTX 460s and the new 6870s, but Wednesday Newegg had the GSkill 120gb Phoenix Pro SSD on sale for $195.00, I bought it.
