Enemy Territory: Quake Wars

Quake Wars once again shows the 4870 outperforming the GTX 260, but this time it offers essentially the same performance as the GTX 280 - but at half the price. The Radeon HD 4850 also manages to significantly outperform the 9800 lineup.

    I'm looking to buy the 4870 from newegg when they get back in stock next week but I'm not familiar with any of the manufactures, except for Diamond, and I had problems with Diamond years ago.

    Diamond
    HIS
    Powercolor
    Sapphire Technology Limited
    VisionTek

    Any advice, especially ones to avoid?

    Go with the one with the warranty. Which would be visiontech life time warranty. Asus does offer a 3 year warranty also.

    195 -> 20$ rebate newegg -> 20$ rebate bensbargains = $155!

    To think this card will get cheaper yet!

    I'm buying one asap. This is a freakin steal at 150 bucks.

    Heck, pick up 2. $310 for CF 4850s! Now there's "bang for the buck" on games that actually work properly with crossfire.

    I was watching the 8800GT SLI and it was in the top 2 most of the test, for less than the price of 2 4870s i could pick up a SLI board and another 8800 GT. perhaps also a E8400 to equal the $600 on 2 of these 4870s in CF. I am talking about the resolution i use that the 8800GT was looking very good in SLI 1680x1050

    I'd like to see the differnce the GDDR5 made and since clocking the 4850 up may not be possible right now it would be nice to see the 4870 slowed down. If this has been asked or done sorry so much info pouring out now it is hard to keep up, thanks!
