i just pointed out that the 4870 is is not "the powersaver from haven" as so many people say... and still eats a considerable ammount of wattage, while the 280gtx beats it and consumes even more.
Quote those "many people"!

Its nice that some people try to do reviews the "right way", but if i plug in both cards and in normal gaming situations the difference is 30-50W at the sockte its just that: 30-50W difference. Thats the difference i need to pay for.
The difference you will pay for is 200$ at first

There no need to bios flash to use it and there is no cards diying randomly!
It's easy to spead false information but difficult to restore the truth...
