Soooo nearly clicked on place order and then removed from basket (4870 or GTX280)

Any other owners with itchy fingers who want a new shiny toy to play with that really don't need to change right now, and how many who also think they def need a fps boost so prob will upgrade before xmas

I think in your case an upgrade would be good as you play at a high res so you would benefit at your res the 4870, gtx280 would be a nice jump especially with aa enabled the gap would grow. The 8800gtx is still a decent performer but for your res its left way behind these days.

I prefer 19x12 with 4AA/8AF min, currently replaying COD4 and HL2:Ep1 with a bit of COD4 multiplayer for a laugh. Card breezes through these no probs but am prob gonna do COD5, Farcry2, Brothers In Arms3, Aliens Col Marines and intend both Stalkers in next 3-4 months, leaving both Crysis til next gen cards out next year so not sure if GTX will be ok with above games, which is why I'm tempted 4870 to do me for next 6-9 months

All possible settings in NV Control panel are set for max IQ too, also COD4 has all in game settings maxed out apart from AA/AF which are 4/8

Think I'm def keeping the ol' GTX bless it :cool:

Will see how it fairs with the other titles at 19x12 4AA/8AF and if it struggles I'll change. Only had this rig 10 months but the card tech is over 2 yrs old, pretty impressive in the GPU world when you think ;)
 
wow, am surprised at how many other owners their are who are also happy, thought most had jumped ship already

I've noticed the last couple of drivers have really made an improvement to smoothness and IQ, for games I always have fan at 100% and despite decent o/c it's been very stable, had some probs a couple of weeks ago when playing COD4 MP but it turned out to be punkbuster issues as well as firewall and virus config / rules etc

Recently played all three FEAR titles maxed out and it owned them :D
 
Just dusted off Farcry, patched to v1.4, running 19x12 4AA/8AF every single in game setting maxed out, NV CP config for max IQ and get between 90-120 fps in a big firefight with shed loads of trees and water adj to me..........runs like a dream :D
