*Awaits OMG I'M ONLY GETTING 10FPS posts*

That said 5fps a moment ago!

I'm installing now, got to reboot too as I installed the new forceware beta drivers!

Man I've missed the constant updating of Forcewares that I was used to, glad I went back to nVidia

I thought I'd cover my ass, give the demos the benefit of the doubt y'know

EDIT : mrk, wtf you got now?

 

[mrk]

GTX 260 (216), sold the 4870 for £141

All installed, now to reboot, run and post back!

Hope it was a cheap upgrade, is a 4870 to a 216 260 really worth it?

I guess you'll have to let us know

Tried these months ago, hardly new.

Hmm the demos were a bit ass!

They ran fine however...

Seems to be the usual figures looking at Guru3D forums etc...

Was well worth it, Photoshop CS4 works well with it, I no longer have the 1pixel borders around videos and GTA4 runs much better with higher settings which was not possible on the 4870.

Also my case temps have gone down at least 10degrees as the GTX260 runs 15degrees cooler in idle and under load around 20-25degrees cooler!
