... Hi, I am looking for a new graphics card and want to know some opinions on nvidia cards, I'm not sure if I should get nvidia or ATI, I want the card for gaming and am not against spending alot since it's gonna last me. please be honest, no bashing please. The 9800 still seems to be king if money is no consideration. I personally buy based on performance versus price where it gets a little trickier. The ATI cards are better overall with DX9 except the 5700 Ultra ver the 9600XT. nvidia king with OpenGl though. You will get several opinions on this, so it comes down to best bang for the buck. I have recently seen 5900's for a lower price than the 9600 Pro for example. Try a search at www.google.com and type the card you are thinking of and the word review... check several sites as some are biased towards nvidia and others towards ATI. |

thanks, I've been reading up on the 2 makers and most reviews say the 9800
xt is the best for your money, but on the news groups people are saying the boards are overheating and causing alot of problems(with out the overcolocking). I was all set to buy it today but had second thoughts and decided to look around on the web to get some more insight as to which card is truely better. "Helion" wrote in message .com...

Have you looked on the Rage3D forums: http://www.rage3d.com/ If people with Radeons are having problems that's where you'll find them. -- Derek |
