    480gtx for 220 dollars

    Just wondering if I should get this card. I'm running a 460gtx now and 220 seems like a great price but should I wait it out till 670 or 660 come out. Can you do slim with a 460 and 480?

    560ti 448 / 570 / 7850 which one?

    I have the same problem, my 460gtx just cant quite cut it on BF3,even overclocked. i was gonna spring for a 680gtx but my whole system needs an overhaul, so i am considering a 560 ti. just wondering if its a big enough boost for around 250 dollars.
