^ That's going to be hard to beat. The GTX460 beats it by around 10 frames, but it also costs around $200. For $200 you can get an HD5830, which dominates the GTX460. This generation of graphics races is pretty much neck and neck, one barely outdoing the other. ATI takes the final crown though with the 5970 and the ASUS 5870 X2.
I'm presently looking at a combo deal on Newegg that gets one an ASUS motherboard with a 790FX chipset (that means Crossfire but no USB3.0 or SATA 6Gb/s), an AMD Phenom II X4 965, and a Sapphire HD5770 1GB all for $394.99. After rebate, it's $359.97. Am thinking of grabbing it and some G.Skill RAM to overhaul this six year old beast. Anybody have better suggestions?
