yap, you're right about that, but GTX260 has some favorable points over HD4870, like slightly lower power consumption, better stock cooling and it has nVidias drivers (yes, I love nVidia drivers + nTune)

I'm not even talking about PhysX, because right now it's nothing but 3 maps in UT3 and a Vantage issue, although some people claim Grid benefits performance improvements with PhysX, I'm not sure if thats true or not, but the game really seems to run smoother at level 8 AA...

Anyway, I think everyone going with an HD4870 should replace stock cooler with an aftermarket solution, the stock cooler sucks.
