^^Yeah but now tht GTX470 is down to almost 15k competition is gonna b stiff!!

let the price reflect in other shops too.

Just wait for the new GTX460SE...

460SE? whats this man? if you telling about the ones with less shaders than GTX460, one must remember that Nvidia about release GTX580. so they may rename the GTX460SE as GTS550.

from the benchmark provided by super64 it seems 6870 performs a slightly better than GTX470 though I dunnno if this is also true for other games!!If it is, then shouldn't 6870 be a better option than GTX470?

[vickybat]

According to reviews from tomshardware and anandtech gtx 470 performs slightly better than 6870 but in higher resolutions upto 2560x1600 the performance difference is negligible.

Since the price of gtx 470 is now below 15k it can be recommended in lieu of the radeon 6870 since it has physx and cuda up its sleeve.

Anyway people can't go wrong in choosing either of them as the 6870 is also a great card.

in general 470 is better. look at anandtech and toms hardware reviews.

[Piyush]

there's no 6850 in the above benchmarks
thats the critical card that somewhat lingers around 460 and 5850

Lost planet uses tessellation, and quite of a lot of it, while this does not improve visuals dramatically it does put considerable strain on AMD GPUs which slow down due to lack of tessellation power, nVidia using its multiple tessellator approach wins.

Your Gigabyte GPU uses a custom design and lacks the volterra voltage controller needed for voltage control through software, your gpu voltages are hardwired and cannot be modified

@hdknitro
Why not get the HD 6870 for the same price?

[hdknitro]

Considering that too, but i thought the vapour x technology is more reliable

[vizkid2005]

Guys Gtx 470 price drop hasn`t shown in many places ...
How Much Long will it take ???

I can`t decide between (Brand ??? IS zotac gud ???)gtx 470 and Sapphire HD 6870 ???

I think 6870 will be better ...

[Jaskanwar Singh]

if the price drop is at your place get zotac gtx470..but which psu you have? and cabinet?

[vizkid2005]

I`ll get corsair vx550 and CM 430 Elite ...
Y u asking ???
The card is a power hungry heater o wat ???

[Jaskanwar Singh]

power consumption is higher than 6870 but vx550w is a rock solid psu and will handle. elite 430 is good as 470 is bit hot running also.

[vizkid2005]

But dude it is better than 6870 rite ???

[Jaskanwar Singh]

yes it is..

[vizkid2005]

What does ATi hav to compete with Nvidia Physx and CUDA tech ???

[sam]

Considering that too, but i thought the vapour x technology is more reliable

how? i not able get you. what reliable you referring to? if talking about cooling, Vapour chamber or normal heatsink, both cools & will both fail if fans stops working.
