OP OP R Rex740 Baseband Member Messages 32 Mar 13, 2009 #4 Can anyone help me find a good 4870 HD card for $165 AR at most.

OP OP R Rex740 Baseband Member Messages 32 Mar 14, 2009 #9 I might be able to spend a little more if it's worth it. How's this? Newegg.com - SAPPHIRE 100259L Radeon HD 4870 512MB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards. Do you think this will lower to 150 because i think it might have already been lowered.

Maybe some retailer is having a deal on one too. I know this is a little above your budget but not too far.
