I'm looking to pick up some 5.1 surround sound headphones for my PC setup. Nothing crazy high-end, just something decent under $300$133. Anyone got any solid recommendations?

Thomas Martin4 said:You aren't going to see any massive gains from that overclock... even the stock card would be plenty... unless you're running some huge 24" monitor and cranking everything to ultra settings... then maybe it matters a bit...

Look, I've got a 21'' or 22'' screen at 1680x1050. Maybe it won't be a total game-changer, but there'll definitely be a difference! Plus, the price gap isn't even that big.

Thomas Martin4 said:Look, you're looking at different clock speeds, cooling setups, and price points here. Honestly, I don't think you can go wrong with either one. Just do a quick Google search to check out the temps and noise levels...

Well, I finally pulled the trigger on the Sapphire HD 4870 Toxic! Fingers crossed I made the right call... It’s a bit pricier, around $40, but it looks like it's factory overclocked to really squeeze every bit of power out of this series.

Hey guys, I need some help! Which card should I grab?

Sapphire HD 4870, 1 GB GDDR5 256bit, dual DVI, PCI Express 2.0 16x, CrossFire, AVIVO, Sapphire, Core: 780 MHz, Mem FQ: 1000MHz, Vapor-X cooler $430
or
XFX HD4870 1Gb DDR5 750MHz, dual DVI, TV-out, HDCP ready, GPU clock: 750MHz, Memory Clock 3600 MHz HD-487A-ZWFC $383

If any of you have used these, what makes one better than the other?
