Why is it so cheap? Is it really worth double the money to get a "better" card, or should I not just get this one, and then in 3 years spend another 250 bucks a buy whatever version of this card is out then? Is this really as good of a deal as it seems? Seems like a perfect card for my rig. My monitor is only 1080p, btw, and I won't be upgrading soon, cause I just bought it, 25 inches. :D |
Its sort of a slightly weaker HD 5870. It sort of goes HD 5850 < 6870 < 5870 however its faster than a GTX 470 and is really cheap for a launch chip. Its a return to the old HD 4870 sweet spot strategy. If you're the kind of gamer who wants to crank everything for the next few years it might not be enough. If you're the kind of gamer who upgrades frequently anyway because you like to, then its perfect and if you're the kind of gamer who doesn't mind turning a few things down in a few years then its perfect too. However its best you check its reviews out and decide for yourself.
