yeah the 3870 is superior to the 4670 in almost every way but its not dx10.1 compatible the 4670 is a good card dont get me wrong but a 3870 (or 3870x2) is superior escpecially in fps games tests.

For GTA IV !!!

Stay away from Ati's Cheap Cards ( I have a 3850 ! )

I suggest that buy a 9600GT at least

If you can spend more buy a 1GB 9800GT or Ati 4850

The HD3870 is slightly better but uses more power. If you want to play GTAIV try to grab a model with high amount of VRAM (1gb)

I say go for HD 4830... It's under 150$ and it's far better than those cards.

the 3870 supports directx 10.1, you have a 3870 you should know that

see above i dont have vista nor want it, xp is a whole lot more user friendly imo and works better for those who do nitpicky system use.
