Upgrade to GTX470

[sapetto]

While i was playing some Alien Swarm i thought - why not sell my 5850 and get a GTX470? Is it worth it? Mostly i play some BC2, MoH, TF2 and some other FPS also i do folding@home but my 5850 gets me just 4k PPD and i have to force it trough a shortcut with custom commands to run it. One thing is also the temps of the GTX470, its hot in here so while gaming i have the fan@60% and sometimes it hits 75-80°C, maybe the GTX will die burning . In general is it worth selling the 5850 to get me a GTX470 ?
thanks

Sacrilege! lol. Well it depends on you really, not satisfied with the 5850 you have? Its not much of a uber upgrade though, or maybe if you fold etc. But thats up to you really. I'd not do it though. Especially if you bother about temps and power consumption. The 5850 is a great card. Maaan a lot of people are upgrading, even though I dont game so much anymore, you are all just giving me the itch! But for you sir, I think you should resist that itch!
