So I'm in the market for a new video card. I've done a bunch of research and I'm torn between these 2 cards. I'm partial to NVIDIA and its like $80 cheaper but I want to keep my mind open to ATI. Vote and leave your opinions in the comments.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 280:
EVGA 01G-P3-1284-AR GeForce GTX 280 SSC Edition 1GB 512-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card

ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2:
SAPPHIRE 100251SR Radeon HD 4870 X2 2GB 512-bit (256-bit x 2) GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card


Thanks!!! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

Read this first before buying...

the 4870 X2 will be alot faster (~10-45%) faster (source:http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/geforce-gtx-radeon,review-31608-11.html)

but im not sure if the price difference makes up for it
