    Honestly, For $299 and a 60% increase over the $270 HD4870 I bought last October... is fook'ing incredible !!
    X1950XTX to a 8800GTS 640mb was a good +25% increase, +50-60% in some cases.

    8800GTS 640mb to a 8800GT was a 10-20% increase, 8800GT to a 8800GTS/9800GTX was about the same 10-20%, 8800GTS/9800GTX to a 4870 was also a ~15-20% increase.

    So all those upgrades were easily +25% and some cases 50-60%.

    Once the government outlaws your guns your life is forfeit. You're already dead, it's just a question of when they are going to get around to you.
