GTX 470 v HD 5870

Reading alot of reviews on both but very uncertain as to which is the better overall card for gaming.

Anyone have any brand reccommenedations either?

Would be OC'n whichever card I go with.

Thanks!

Hi Foox! Welcome to the OC community.


I must give a disclaimer that I'm biased. Having said that, go for the 470 (or an 465 and flash it to a 470). Enjoy your gaming, and while not gaming, use it for folding at home.

(I did say I was biased...)

The GTX 470 is much more future proof it delivers up to 8x the tessellation performance compared to competition.
