    Wait... are you serious? Tell me you're joking.

    Are you trying to suggest that the 3870 is in any way comparable to the 9800GTX?

    Ah you are correct, I got that mixed up. Well most of what I said is still relevant. The 4870 is only ~30% faster than the 4850 and the GTX280 is faster than the 4870 so it mostly holds true.
