    Looking at various reviews of the HD 4870 (and HD 4890), a lot of the older reviews (last year and early this year) had it at a big disadvantage against the GTX 260 216/216SP. But, the most recent reviews have the HD 4870 doing much better.

    I imagine it's because the HD 4870 drivers finally had time to mature.

    The cheapest GTX 260 216 (SP?) has a Core Clock Speed of 650Mhz + HDMI sells for $180. Compare that to $155 for the HD 4870 1GB and $190 for the HD 4890 ($185 if I go with Powercolor with no HDMI) .
