As you know i have right now GTX 460 which im pleased with. but i got an extra 60$ to spend i figure i step up to either the 5850 or 470. Ive read some discussions about the card and almost everyone vouches for the 5850 in regards to better temps and overclock capabilities. Since i know you guys are experts and some of you have one of this cards i wanted a second opinion.
and also i will most likely SLi or Crossfire one of them down the line, and since i heard problems with xfx and crossfire maybe i should not consider that one, but then again you tell me.
The 470 is 10$ more
