I just sold my GTS250 and bought this 6870:

Highly recommend it too.
The dual fans are way quiet. Even at 100% they were still quieter then my GTS250 was at low speeds. You can easily OC this thing a bit with the stock cooler.

Its only 204.99 (free shipping) and its got a rebate, so it ends up costing 174.99. Killer deal

I've got two of those. 
  • One is rock solid and performs @ 1040mhz, 1275mV, 228 memory, 100% fan @ 325 Mhash/sec and 67 degrees.
  • The other is running 1000mhz, 1225mV, 228 memory, 302 Mhash/s, 100% fan @ 71 degrees
