Here we go. Right forum this time. 
Okay so I am in a pickle as to what to choose to buy. My resolution is 1680x1050 and this will be a step up from a 7900GS KO @ 570/ 787 (not evga, but just a step up in performance)
I have a $30 Best Buy gift card and a $50 Master Card gift card.
Best Buy has a 8800gt with reference cooler for $230 or so, but is sold out = $150 total spent
They also have the 3870 for $193, but is also sold out = $113 total spent
NCIX has the Galaxy 8800gt at $230 or so = $180 total spent + sketchy warranty
Basically I am willing to shell out a few more bucks to be able to turn on 4xAA or more in games. I am not as worried about AF - it just doesn't bother me as much for some reason.
Should I just keep waiting for Best Buy to come back in stock? I'm guessing their sale will end in the next couple of days
Oh yeah. Anyone have links to benchmarks comparing how AA effects the 3870 cards?
