GTX480, which one to get?

Not to bring the fanboi hammer down, but I don't intend to purchase ATI anytime soon (have in the past). Explaining my opinions will more than likely fuel the fire so let's leave it at that please.

How much would you be willing to pay for these shiny shiny jingly keys? :p

I do see your point, I don't really remember but was there much difference between the 280 and 285 anyway?

There was not, a 285 had marginally higher clocks and OC a little better, you could OC a stock 280 past 285 performance, it was certainly not a worthwhile upgrade for 280 owners, it's more just a mid term refresh that porbably more than anything else is there to bring down the manufacturing cost, by rejigging the card slightly

470 for £230 or 480 for £350

480 is 20-25% faster for >+50% the cost.

Yea...I guess the GTX480 has the price premium for being the fastest single GPU card and now at a price that people can afford/willing to pay. As for 5870...considering it is no longer the fastest single GPU card, not really sure if it worth the price premium over the 5850 to be honest :p Like people have said, they should drop 5870 price to around £250~£260.

IMO both 5870 and 480 should drop to more reasonable levels, say £260 and £320 receptively.
 
Hows about getting a GTX470, then saving a bit of money then getting another one down the line for SLI goodness? They are damn cheap at the moment and fast cards to boot
