Which GPU is better

Hello,

I have a friend which has a evga dual-slot 512mb 8800gts and he's happy. I want to make a PC that will be used for lan parties. I have the choice between the gt 520 1gb and his video card (he's getting a 5870). I ONLY CARE about in game performance in bf3,bc2,bf4,aoe3,insurgency etc. Mainly bf3.

Which is better only performance wise. I'm well aware that the 8800gts is loud, power hungry, hot, and all of that. I don't have to pay for power (my parents do:P and they don't care) and heat and sound is a non issue as it will be in a place where no one will hear it.

Again I know the 8800gTs is inefficient, older blah blah. I only ONLY care about bf4 (mainly) performance on 1280x1024 75hz monitor CPU is Pentium E5200 may be upgraded to top of the line 775 chip or Q6600.

Thanks all!

Again only performance, I know 9/10 replies are going to say gt 520 cause power heat etc.

Thanks. Its the 8800gts. Will the CPU bottleneck? Also how much power it needs. Also what's best? (I have the 8800gts in hand) 8800gts, 8800gtx, 8800 ultra, 8800gt?

the ultra also don't worry about bottle necking

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.
