Planning on returning my HIS 4870 1gb as the GTX 216 seems to be a much better card and with the recent price drops I'm willing to eat the 15% Fee. My main issue is the 4870 is able to upscale lower rez screens like the BIOS on my 46" HDTV allowing me to make changes in bios without a 2nd monitor. My older 8600GT didn't do this. Does the GTX2XX series do this via HDMI/DVI?

Another big reason for the upgrade is the very high probability of the GTX2XX series becoming hackintosh compatible, while the ATI card will likely never be supported as Apple seems to be in bed with Nvidia.
