Better Graphics Cards?

[grapesofwonder]

What graphics card is better for gaming? A Geforce GTX 460/465/470 etc or a XFX Radeon HD 5850 or a Radeon 4870/4890?

If cost is not an issue, the GTX 470 is the best choice for sheer power. However, the 5850 is a better value for your dollar, since its performance is fairly close, but it costs a good bit less.

Don't buy the 4870 or 4890.

Thanks, can you tell me how much each of them cost roughly and were I can purchase them?

You live in the US? Just search for them on newegg.

Thanks!

What would be better a GTX 460/65 or a 5850?

 

[foothead]

Do not buy a 465. They are absolutely terrible.

5850 is better than a GTX 460.
