I know the 470 was a bit expensive but the thing is i tried to find some parts from best buy so i can actualy use my card for it (=less money spent up front) the only 460 they had at the best buy near me was ?galaxy? and i saw evga 470 so figured i would grab the better brand. with 5 clients open main on ultra and other 4 with max view distance and max spell particles i can still fraps without any hicups in my system so im happy!
