Going from HD3870 to HD6850

[Raduque]

Well, I ordered the Galaxy GTX460GC 768mb. $155 to my door. This is my first nVidia card in a long time. I hope my PSU can handle it.

That's a good card. Get that rebate going let us know if it provided a satisfactory performance upgrade for you.

Didn't even see that it had a rebate, thanks. Printed.

I don't understand that purchase. A 460 768 for $155? Now if it was the 1GB for that price I could understand. The 6870 has been as low as $160 shipped lately.

$40 rebate. The card comes to $115. Cheapest 6870 right now is $180 after rebate. Not even in the same ball park price wise.

Yep, it was either this or a 6850 for $170(w/$20 rebate).
