Which graphics card?

[princejim]

I am a Nvidia person, but the prices seem to have gone very high. However this 460 does not look so bad, but which of these 3 would be the best?

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 460 SUPER OC 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card (Core Clock: 815Mhz)

EVGA GeForce GTX 470 1280MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Cards
(Core Clock: 607MHz)

XFX ATI Radeon HD 6870 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
(Core Clock: 900MHz)

This with the system spec in your sig.

TBH, 5870.

It may "old tech", but it generally performs better than the GTX 470 and at this price it is pretty great.

Yeah would agree with andi on the 5870. Its a fantastic card and better value for money over the GTX 470. You also need to consider whether the games you play will benefit from Tessellation / PhyX etc. Cooling of the case and how much noise you are prepared to accept...all the usual arguments that are pretty common nowadays.

Gigabyte GTX 460 1GB Super Overclock can be had for £153.99 if you shop around. Probably the best bang-for-buck at the moment and can be overclocked even further to get very close to a GTX 470.

470, but i'd wait a week for AMD, prices may go down further (unlikely though)
