It is clearly a better card than the 570 for the same money.. that's all he said. Your aggressiveness makes you look like more of a fanboy than him.
Its the over the top fanboy posts and not just in this thread that just rub me the wrong way. Check his post history and you'll see what I mean. Why would a person who finds a 4850 to be "good enough" come and troll the video card discussions at a place called xtreme systems? Is this the AMD version of Rollo?

670 is a completely different story (and great value)
Thats another very good point, actually. Do you think the thought of picking up a GTX670 even entered into his mind?

I don't think that 7870 is a bad card at all. I actually considered picking up a couple for crossfire but it doesn't offer much as far as price vs performance goes. Look at the lack of excitement on the forums when that card was released. They just sort of slipped it in at the same price as other cards with similar performance. All that it really has going for it is the performance per watt which goes back to my point originally on that being just one part of the equation and for most people a small one.
