Hey I just got my 2nd 8800gt....There's no way I am upgrading to another model now....at least until the new ones now drop significantly in price.
That's Mr. Deception to you.

Well the as an ATI guy. The 4890 is the same thing as a 4870 just clocked higher. And it supports DX10.1. A 4870 can be had for as little as $135 on Newegg.

Hey Mark, don't forget the 4770 if you don't want to spend a wad of cash.
