Well it's about time I ditch my 8800GT, it's served me well for a few years.
Right now an XFX 6870 is $190 on NewEgg. And incredible deal.
However, since I have an E8400 as my CPU, is it even worth going that high end? I was going to go with a GTX-460 until these AMD price drops. But now, that price is too good to ignore, even though I really prefer nVidia.
So is there ANY reason for me not to buy a 6870...I don't want to spend more than $200.
I guess the 6850 is also an option, since that pricing is good as well.
