I just bought an XFX 6870 that was on offer for these exact same reasons (although I have a 600watt supply).

Did you get the Black Edition or regular?

I see, so would you reckon mend the 6870? If so which version?

Last thing, cause i've been looking at everything before ordering, comparison chart between standard GTX470 and XFX6870BE

Firebouncy · 22 Nov 2010 at 15:53

So the 6870 is better?

dave_beast · 22 Nov 2010 at 15:55

Well the Black Edition is certainly better on paper than a vanilla 470GTX.

If your talking overclocking it brings up a whole different ball game.

Yeah, totally agree, the 470 has way more headroom than the 6870, but in CFX or as Single non OC 6870>470
