    gtx 460 vs 6870

    not so much concerned with heat on gpus but was told most single fan 470s run at like 80-90c? so i was looking at the msi dual fan and gigabyte triple fan 470's but both are $300 just didnt know if i wanted to spend $300 on those two models, not interested in the other 470's.

    800x600 is the same res ive used for the last 9-10 years in cs, i don't wish to change it.

    gtx 460 vs 6870

    i only mentioned cs @ 800x600 120hz because ive read of problems running 120hz at non native resolutions with ati. wasnt sure if it was true, cs isnt the only game i play.
