the 280 and the 4870 are about the same, there is not a clear winner between the two. you would have to check on a benchmark tests to see which one is faster for the games you play. But the 4870 is the card I would buy, It has the ddr5 ram and uses 55nm tech, while the 280 is still using 65nm tech. this only means that the 4870 will run a little cooler and use a little less power than the 280.

you can't go wrong with either card. both are great and will handle everything you can throw at them.
