I guess I'm just really surprised, but I did not expect the 4870 to be THAT fast...I mean it's faster than the 260 across the board, yet it's cheaper, and has less ram. I've always used Nvidia cards, so I'm kind of scared to switch over. Is anyone using a 4870 already and happy with it? Thanks.

i will let you know tomorrow when mine should arrive

Whenever newegg has them instock for more than 2 minutes i'm going to order 2 and an x48. Hopefully the price will come down to where its supposed to be by then.

It's faster than the 280 in some games too.

Grid 4870 = 80fps avg.
Grid 280 = 67.6 avg.

COD4 4870 = 79.2 avg.
COD4 280 = 72.9 avg.
