Worth it ? I have a 8800gts 320mb and i am pretty limited for game resolution, since i just got a 24" Monitor, i know i should get the 1gb version but its about 3-10fps difference , i don't really mind, or maybe i should wait for new card incoming ?
Just make sure your power supply is sufficient. At stock speed the HD 4870 uses about 130w of power compared to approximately 105w for the 8800GTS 320mb. That's about 2 amps more.

I'd say it's worth it. I see it for 180 at both tigerdirect and newegg, but that's with a $20 rebate.
I do know that the nVidia GeForce GTX 295 should be coming out in the next few weeks, but as to whether that will really drive prices down a considerable amount is only speculation. It probably would take longer for a real price drop on the mid-level cards.
