Probably should ask about the PSU too.

Yes most positively Juneau....if you go with a bigger bang vid card DO NOT forget about the power supply....it'll cost ya a lil more $$$

If you want to compare vid cards I found this link very usefull.

Being a Nvidia guy myself from day one I've seen so many issues with ATI on some of the games I've been playing (drivers etc etc)

Sorry to all the ATI guys here

I have had cards from both companies over the years. I have had problems with three ATI cards and none with any of the Nvidia cards.

If you have problems with any manufacturer you're either just unlcky, or doing something wrong. Proud Nvidia and Ati user here.

My vote for the GTX260, but if you spring for it the GTX285 is a solid card as well..... what sort of games are you into?

[juneau]

The 4870 is faster than the GTX260 especially when AA is applied. It's also cheaper.

I don't know why anybody would buy Nvidia right now. Way too overpriced for what they are.

Because they are generally better for flight sims, which is 90% of my PC time

If you're into FPS, then ATI is usually the way to go

I didn't actually know that about Flight Sims. I thought it was more about CPU and RAM.

Anything that requires a warp core to power it and has a holo-brothel.
