I would phrase it differently if your point is price/performance. You are clouding the issue by phrasing it that way. Why not make this poll instead:
Which Three Year Ownership Plan would you prefer:
1. HD6850 at $180 without rebate.
2. GTX460-1GB at $180 after rebate, plus an additional $50 in electricity costs above and beyond the HD6850.
3. Neither because this poll was set up to air some sort of weird beef Happy Medium has with Blastingcap despite Blastingcap not knowing or caring who Happy Medium is, other than his continual personal attacks as to Blastingcap's character.
You may also find disagreement that the GTX460 is 15% faster in actual gameplay situations rather than canned benchmarks (see, e.g., the HardOCP review).
One thing I wonder: why is this so personal with you? I don't know you, you're just some dude in Philly. I would prefer it if you would be less personal, like swearing at me and hurling insults like "sunk to a new low" which implies that I was low to begin with and am low now.. for what, point out power draws? My math was accurate. Read my OP in this thread. I think it was a fair summary. RS gave me kudos for the suggestion at the end of it, too.
I want to see if people want 15% more performance or 15 less watts in a video card. Plain and simple. I'm not gonna educate them about there electric bill. I dont want to perswade them either way. Just keeping it simple.
