I am seriously completely baffled by which card to get next week when I get some cash. 5870, GTX 480 or 5970...

Someone just tell me what to do so I can be done with it.

If you need a 5870 I have on sitting on a table in a box.

Honestly, any of those cards is a win situation. They are all top performers. Just choose the one that has the best features you want and the price range.

I got my eVGA GTX 480 a couple of weeks ago, and water cooled it this past week with a Koolance GPU-220.

After water cooling it the max temp. in Kombustor is 53C and it Idles @ 30C.

Here is some OC results if anyone is interested for the Crysis Benchmark ( settings all Very High except Objects = High ) -
