How much does an HD 5870 go for? I found this: http://www.google.com/products/catalog?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&channel=s&hl=en&q=HD 5870&um=1&ie=UTF-8&cid=15281733195754081683&ei=C6ovTJquEsL78AakreTICw&sa=X&oi=product_catalog_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CCgQ8wIwAA# |
YES, I KNOW. You missed the point.
My original config was using the CHEAP HD 5570 (~$60) which would play current games at that resolution. You then said it was worth paying more in order not to have to upgrade the hardware. I then said if you paid more for a really expensive graphics card like the HD 5870 then it would last a lot longer and you'd be paying for the privilege.
A decent gaming PC is cheap. OnLive is expensive. A gaming PC you won't have too upgrade is expensive.
