I looked up the numbers, the 4870 has higher GFlops but the nvidia has higher texture and pixel fill rate. Which one should I be running?

Not planning to upgrade, I already have both.

Pretty sure the 285 beats the 4870 in games and such, and i know it beats it at FAH stuff.

Alternatively, 285s still fetch a good price, you could sell both and get a 5870 that beats both of 'em.

I would be running the 285. The 285 spanks the 4870 according to reviews...
