Is it just me, or do most nvidia cards look really good?

:\ are they even making any money on the 216 with that low of a price? Nice win for nvidia here, not by much, barely anything, but pretty good. 4870 going to drop their price due to this?

like it said in the review your choice really depends on which company you want to go to ati or nvidia the cards pretty much on par with each other, but now i want to see 280 vs 4870x2, see how many more frames the 4870x2 can pull

This is how I see it. The cards are neck and neck in everything but FO3 and the 216 gets a bit of an edge in Crysis. Either way, they're both good cards, and with their new prices, it's all about which colour your like better in your rig.

The GTX 260 C216 wins in all but 1 test....


While I wan't to say that that was slightly odd.... I like that the GTX C216 is now $250 which makes it better than the 4870 1GB.

I think I like my purchase now

But they were pretty close... I have SLI so heh, obvious why I went there
