[QUOTE="CaptainCrazy"]I know hardware is typically cheaper in US compared to Canada but you have to wonder what's going on here when a place like Futureshop charges $260 for a 4870 1GB card and I can get the exact same one at a local system builder's store for $180. But overall the GPU's here cost $30-50 more than US.Viet_Phoenix
There's a little PC shop on College and Spadina that I go to and they currently sell the 4890 ofr under 200, and believe it or not the Sapphire HD5770 1G GDDR5 for 179!?

i'd rather get a 4890 than a 5770

Why are you guys insisting on installing something that isn't necessary. Do you guys even know what a firewall is :?JigglyWiggly_

Are you running a 64-bit OS? I am running Windows Vista 64-bit and Firefox keeps locking after about 15 minutes. Its not just firefox either it has started locking up my 32-bit IE and my 64-bit IE. I'm hoping Windows 7 64-bit will fix this as its frustrating as all get out and its happening not only on my gaming system and my notebook.

i use vista 64 and firefox does not lock up for me at all

a gtx 260 blows away the gts 250. nobody should buy a gts 250 or a 5770.

[QUOTE="mikeandsaints"]

Nahh, imagine you wouldn't see that much difference in the eye, unless of course you've changed eyes between games (maybe the Apple iEYE GTX380 if u can afford it?). When it comes to a game like the first stalcer it really revolutionized the industry but I'm hearing that stalcer 2- Return of the killer stalcer will be directx11.2 (and thats before we get the first dx11.1 game) and will be unplayable on a mere single GTX295. So you really should get another GTX295 right now, u know while the prices are still low (u probably read a few posts on "the hardware cycle" in this thread, in short: prices tend to go up as the tech ages, u know like a fine wine). Anyways thats my advice mike, keep it real BTW: Adding even more semi-colons to your posts is probably a good idea, easier to read and helpful in getting a complete colon

what you mean with all these things are you telling me ;;;;;;;;

GTX295 dosent have DX11, 5870 does and dx11 is better and faster than DX10 so buy an HD5870 as quickly as u can.

i completely disagree with "buy a 5870 as quickly as you can" no great DX11 games are gonna be out for probably over a year by then, nvidia will have DX11 cards out faster than ati's current cards and also, DX11 cards will be cheaper in a year
