exactly. If someone asks, what is better, I'm assuming that they are asking for the best performance from the group of cards (remember, he listed 3 scenarios, didn't mention anything about the 6xxx series)
If $$ was the issue, I would assume he would have stated "what is the best card I can get for $xxx?"
Honestly, if I was the OP, I would wait for the 69xx series, but that wasn't what was asked.
btw, I will die laughing if he is running 1440x900.
