GTX 260 for £217...

[tensim]

Would you by this over a £180 HD 4870? And it comes with GRAW2 and Opposing Fronts...

Tempting?

Doesn't the HD4870 pretty much own it in most games though.. and it's still nearly £40 more.

The 280GTX at £300 much be gut wrenching for those first day buyers though (Thats at OcUK)

GRAW and GRAW2 are so hard lol.. I only had time to play them for about an hour at a time each day and it took me ages

get the gx2 from overclockers for £17 more.

I think I will 'just' go with a 4850 for now, then sell it off when the 4870 X2 arrives... that thing is going to be superb, 2GB of memory, yeehaa

+1 the 9800gx2 will be very good value at £240, it is also better than the gtx280 in most games. Only issue is heat over two 8800gts in sli.

The GX2 is a great card but does suffer from micro stuttering. Low min fps can be also a problem as can the reliance on SLI profiles.

Or you could just buy another 4850?
