so im interested in this question, where i live i can only get my hands on reference based gtx 470's and was wondering what you guys thought, would you get the reference based cards over lets say, an asus hd 5850 directcu? or an asus gtx 460 768mb direct cu?

oh the resolution were talking about is 1900x1200 and above

HD5850 with DirectCU of course...
You can OC that card like CRAZY and match the HD5870 speed or more.

Pricing pretty much determines the verdict here.

 

[jyjjy]

Yeah, how much do these various cards cost and what is your monitor's native resolution?

 

[raif89]

hmm well, the 5850 and gtx 470 cost the same, and the 460 is of course cheaper. im not giving the exact price since the prices here are no where NEAR the prices in the us

@jyjjy; said it in the opening, 1900x1200 and up
