Need help fast!!! Sale item!EVGA E-GEFORCE GTX 260 VS SAPPHIRE HD 4870

If you want to keep the crossfire open, stay with 4870 1gb.

the gtx 260 you can't sli if you come down with more money down the line.

Back in forth these cards will fight.

the gtx 260 is better than the 4870 in some resolutions, as the 48701gb is better than the 260 in higher resolutions.

they vary off, but, i'd stick with the sapphire 4870 1gb.

thank u very much.

I am in the same situation but deciding between a XFX 4870 1G at $225 using rebate at tigerdirect.ca with $4 shipping or the EVGA 260 GTX at ncix.ca for my brother I am from too Canada. If you are leaning towards the 4870 get the xfx has I think it has the double lifetime warrenty, so better resell value I would contact the company to make sure and it has the fan blower cooling solution to blow hot air out. If I get the 260 GTX I would try to overclock it to exact specs as the OC version. EVGA also has a lifetime warrenty and the card does a bit better if your able to overclock.

I have a visiontek 4870 512mb it does pretty good but I am CPU limited so I haven't seen it's full performance.
