Looks like we are onlyh getting a deal for $239.99 on this cahir for black friday. What a letdown, I missed the sale last month and really want this chair, but not for $240.
a $100 card will not get you much of an upgrade over a GTX260.
Get a used GTX470, it will be equal to 2 GTX260's.
But to let that new I7 shine best bang for buck would be a GTX660ti or GTX670
I don't like AMD so no suggestions there.
The Gigabyte OC Windforce GTX670's are really nice. I just got one and it boosted to 1150 out of the box. It oc's to 1280, I run it at 1250 24/7 stable.
It idles at 35c with 25% fan speed and doesn't pass 59-60c with 80% fan speed at full load while OC'ed.

Just got my Gigabyte windforce oc 670, not sure how good of a performer it is.

Power Target +0% (100%)
Base Clock +120, +130 started artifacting (1270 total stable boost)
Mem +400, haven't tried higher on...
I am using GTX 470 2xSLI @1080p and get about 60-100fps with everything maxxed, it sometimes drops to the 40's-50's but only with 20+ people on screen casting spells. @1080p
Hey guys I got a question for ya that seems relevant to this thread.
I have been running SLI GTX470's @ 1080p and they have served me well. I recently got a VG278H 120hz Monitor, and my little 470's although great will only pull 60-90fps in most games maxed out and for Vsync I now need to...
