I just ordered a VisionTek 4870. I'm so glad I sold my GTX 280 when I did. The price dropped a few days later. This will be my first ATi card since the x800XL I had years ago. Hope it overclocks well.

What made you sell your 280?
I got raped on my GX2 somewhat, ended up selling it for $300 bucks (before the price drops were announced). I also got lucky and scooped up a new 260 for the same price.
Gonna pick up another 260 next friday and eventually step up to 280's (when the price drop even more), I would have gone with a 4870 but I could not find one in stock anywhere and did not want to order one from the bay.

I sold the GTX 280 because I decided I was too busy to need it. I sold the GX2 to a friend who needed it a lot more than I did. I was originally going to get the 4850 but got the 4870 in case I start playing games again. Pretty good card for the price.

I wish I could get rid of my GTX 280. I got ripped on the price, but you live and learn.

I couldn't even sell my brand new 9800GTX :( was going to pay an extra £100 for a GTX 260.
