    Its irrelevant to me what hardware you spend your money on nor what you may or may not save on your electric bill I was merely pointing out that your self proclaimed avg price difference was incorrect.

    average does not mean minimum, saphire had a 5850 for 290$ and another for 310$, the only thing the 310$ one came with was a free game.

    If I wanted to quote minimum mwave had the 470 for $330 when I replied earlier but I was simply quoting what was stock at NE at the time...

    Incorrect in your mind maybe, newegg and pricewatch both show an average of $60 more for the 470 for the brands I would buy.

    Nice try though...
