Aside from the fact that you are overlooking the fact that the GTX470 is a very good overclocker, you show Nvidia! Teach those meanies a lesson and buy that 5850!

Also, for future reference please don't try and suggest that the cost difference in energy of running a 5850 vs. a GTX470 would be anything more than a drop in the ocean for anybody that can afford a 470 or 5850 and the corresponding hardware to utilize them fully.
