Well, to be fair, I was kind of tempted by an Asus 4850 for the low price and 3 years warranty (slightly better than Sapphire & co., though far from BFG, EVGA etc.).
My next graphics card, assuming I get anything current gen (I've been helping friends with their builds but kept pushing back my own), would likely be an AMD 4000 series. I like the 4870, but I have to think about spending 50% more for 28% performance boost.
Will see how the prices play out in the next few days (though I reckon that the 4870 will stay at above 175 quid in the near future).
