So hmm yeah as the title said i'm kind of confused. Maybe i'm missing something.

I currently own a 8800gt xfx 512mb wich is still being sold at 200$ on most website.

I'm looking for a new gpu cause i plan to get a 22" monitor and i don't want any lag, at all. Yet I'm curious, i'm looking forward a HD 4870 but for some reason it's the same price as a 8800gt?

Should i just sell my 8800gt on ebay? Is it because the update is not worth it?

Oh and is the HD 4870 the best i can get in the 200-300$ range? Your opignon?

Thanks

You can get a 4870 for about 170 on Newegg..Let me get the link

The 4870 is a definite upgrade. The pricing has more to do with marketing and yields than price vs. performance. I would sell your card and get a 4870. There are also some good deals on the GTX260-216. Not sure if it is truely better than a 4870, but they are usually more money anyhow.

That just happens to be the way it was sorted. I am looking to get a new card and was really looking at this one:

i heard the ati was faster on various forum, have you compared the 2 Gpu specs and bench result or is that your own opignon?
