Nvidia cards GeForce 9600 GT 8800 GT 512MB, 8800 GTS 512MB 9800 GTX, 9800 GTX+ GTX 260 They kinda fall in the price line with gtx 260 for about 300 after tax top to bot bot being best in performance of course also being more expensive Ati Radeon HD 4850 is 200 great performance but you're like me and dislike ati (frankly i don't like ati because their support is ehhh esp when it comes to widescreen res) 4870 of course is better but it would be about more then 300 so yeah... | ||

ATI 4850 beats 8800gts (i think ati is cheaper not sure) ATI4870 beats gtx260 (ati cheaper too) ATI4870x2 beats gtx280 ( ati cheaper too) my recommendation is get the 4870. its enough for high end gaming. | ||

Anyways he said he doesn't like ati chipsets. Neither do i don't care for them not allowing fixed aspect ratio scaling on their drivers. Some people don't like seeing games stretched out. 8800gt is enough for high end gaming hell only like crysis can kill 60fps on max at a reasonable res like 1280x1024 or smaller. Really anything over 200 bucks on a gpu is enthusiast level. | ||
