No Question?? I'm looking at the 4770's now and the specs are horrible compared to a Nvidia XFX 9800GTX+ which runs about 89$

Check out the difference:

90 bucks for a refurb'd one and even then the 9800 GTX+ is only a little better in Stalker and Crysis and pretty much the same in Far Cry 2.

Ah.. but you can fold better with the 9800 GTX
