GTX 260 or HD 4870?
Im stuck as to what GPU to go for. Im planning on buying Batman: Arkham Asylum, so getting it free with a GPU which seems to match the 4870 most of the time and sometimes outperform it for jus £8 more seems like a bargain.
So if I buy the Nvidia option, I feel like I can compromise on the mobo and get a 785 chipset instead of 790 since I dont need the Crossfire option. Whereas if I buy the 4870 it jus feels like it make sense to buy a mobo that can take another 4870 when they drop to an even lower price a year down the line or something if I feel I need it.
Anyway, here are the two rigs, which would you recommend? And please no fanboy wars, I dont care whether I go with Nvidia or ATI, I jus wanna know how the two rigs compare.
