Thanks for keeping this thread updated everyone.

I'm looking forward to seeing where the new 9400GT for $60 lands in your rankings.

The 260 is NOT better than the 4870.

Pros: I loaded up Bioshock and maxed out the settings, but this graphics slit the game's throat then ate it's entrails for dessert. It slammed Assassin's Creed's head onto the curb then stomped its head into that curb until it was nothing but a bloody pulp. This card is one bad mo-fo. It'll backhand your sister and degrade your mom, but they will still love it and want to date it because it is just that good. I love this card so much that I burned my tongue trying to french kiss it, and I still keep trying.

Compare an overclocked card with another overclocked card please.

One recommendation goes to the Radeon HD 4870 and the other to the GeForce GTX 260. Both cards produced results too similar for us to single out just one of them. What the HD 4870 gains with its aggressive price, the GTX 260 compensates for via its 3D performance. Both cards have a two slot fan that exhausts heated air out of the case. AMD’s disadvantage is increased power consumption in 2D mode and very high temperatures. Nvidia’s disadvantage is high noise, but for that price, we’re willing to live with it.
both the 4870 and the 260 are overclocked. the 260 has a higher OC only by 1%. The stock card there in the link is the 4850.

FPS / % over the 4850 @100%
GeForce GTX 260 (896 MB) 3464.8 116.8
Radeon HD 4870 (512 MB) 3355.7 113.2


Please DO READ before posting comments like "it's OC'd and stuff" makes me look like a retard. C'mon.I know the 4870 was faster. More mature nvidia drivers now make the 260 faster.

I don't even think you read the
whole thing, much less clicked on the link.

Tom's posted an article on how slower and pathetic the 260 was versus the 4870...
This is a new one, and i suggest you read it, and come up with your own proof to counter what I posted.

Tom's Hardware charts are extremely unreliable. I never used them as reference even when I was comparing the 4870 against the GTX 260 when the cards first came out.

I still have not seen a review which compares a 4870 with 8.8 against a 260 with the latest forceware drivers.
