i've read a bunch of reviews comparing the two and the performance seems about equal. the prices are within 20 dollars of eachother also.
i will have an i7 machine with 2 montiors, both at 1920x1200 or 1920x1080, but when gaming one would just have my desktop and the other would have the game.
will that give an advantage to the 4870 because of its extra memory?
and also, how do the noise levels and heat levels compare for both of them? with such a small performance gap, i'd probably just go for the cooler quieter one, assuming both performed equally for my needs.
any thoughts?
thanks
