I couldn't make the jump just couldn't do it.

I didn't hear back from w/e that was selling the 5770 or the 5870s off kijiji so I got a response from someone selling a GTX285 yest & bought it today.

Works mint very powerful card, I couldn't be happier & matches everything in my case cause it's black lol.

For the most part yes.

Intel is better performing but bang for buck is ATI as it's a very close performer and catching up VERY fast.

Yeah, well now there are no excuses to wait any longer on those NV cards. The 460 is (finally) out and it's a winner, price-wise and performance-wise.

Performs better than a 5830 whilst costing the same (200$US price point) and needing only 30W more.

460?

Just stick with the 280 then if you already have it.
