It doesn't come with OneCare (that you have to pay extra for), but it comes with _some_ support, whereas system builder (OEM) assumes you know wtf you're doing and you can't call M$ for halp if you fuck up.

Are you seriously considering the 470? I...you know, I'm just gonna let you have your buyer's regret.

Re: Any recommendations for my future gaming rig? - KarthXLR - 04-17-2010
it's also $100 (scratch that, $150) cheaper than the 480 and $300 cheaper than the 5970.
I don't exactly have a lot of money to blow.
Re: Any recommendations for my future gaming rig? - KarthXLR - 04-17-2010
Now, if you had shown me the HD 5870, you would've gotten my attention.
But yeah, a 4 gb card is going to blow a 1.2 gb card out of the water, no crap.
Re: Any recommendations for my future gaming rig? - Gump - 04-17-2010
470 isn't any better than a 5850
![[Image: Far%20Cry%202%20NoAA.png]](http://media.bestofmicro.com/W/E/225374/original/Far%20Cry%202%20NoAA.png)
Both cards are in a bit of a dead heat per performance, either card will be superior depending on what graphics and what game.
Difference being the 5850 having a significantly longer case-life, making the short-term possible performance hit negligible compared to the extended lifespan of the 5850.
Also, the 5850 can OC stable to a 5870 or so, 10% - 20% faster than the 470. 470 has complaints of it going hotter than 90c under load at stock settings, it's a train wreck :o

There isn't really anything you can fuck up. Make sure you hooked up the components right, stick in the disk, and follow onscreen prompts.

Maybe.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't see a huge difference in much more than price between the 5850 and 5870.
