So I'm planning on building a new rig and I am currently stuck between getting 2 GTX 260's or 2 HD4870's..... MSI brand in case that matters to anyone.

Price isn't too much of a factor but performance is.

Any ideas?

don't get MSI. Worst. quality. ever.

_{once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.}

GTX 260 < 4870 < GTX 260 (Core 216)

Click on 4870 in CF and GTX 260 SLI and hit compare.

2 4870's in crossfire seems to be marginally better though.

Wow, I didn't know the new 260s were that good compared to 4870s...

Don't use that chart to compare. GTX280 Sli is rated below single GTX280 by almost 200fps...

Isn't a new line of Nvidia coming out soon? Where is .Sup

I think just revisions of the 260 and 280, but i can not find what i was reading earlier.
