    Sapphire 4870 HD 512MB, $154.99 after MIB ($164.99 regular price)

    Nvidia's been scratching to reclaim lost market share. ATI responded.

    Did it come in a 40 lbs box? I paid $300 for one of mine 3 days after release.

    Oh, you mean the 250?

    I'll give ATI credit. They aren't trying to deceive people into thinking the the 4890 is a completely new GPU. By just increasing the last two digits, 4870 to 4890, they're implying it's a performance boost, not a new GPU.
