Although I doubt it because it looks like the GTX260 has a lot more overclocking headroom than the HD4870. I think if you overclock both cards you will find that the GTX260 clearly beats the HD4870 in most benchmarks due to the additional headroom. And for only $50 more than a 1 gig HD4870. Although that is just MSRP. Post rebate street prices will tell the real story. At stock the two cards are about equal, but fully overclocked (and maybe volt modded) on water I think the GTX260 would waste the HD4870. Of course that's just more speculation.


Who said anything about pure overclocking...? I was simple saying that for a lot less you can have an HD4870 running par with a GTX280...!

Are people forgetting that the GeForce GTX280 is $650 bucks....? I can easily afford such things, but I just see no need. ATI has proven to me that a HD4870 is a better VALUE <--------

And I talking about the GTX280, not the GTX260. Which is already bested by the 512MB 4870... I fail to see your point!
