hi everyone, i'm about to purchase a new graphics card and i'm between these 2, cause in my country they have very similar prices. I looked at the vga charts the hd2900xt has the best performance but it's not avaible in the store, instead they have the hd2900gt so i don't know the difference between these two , any ideas??
thanks (i use a resolution of 1440*900)

The 2900 GT is TERRIBLE, very crippled, and about as fast as the X1950 PRO.

The 2900 PRO is a good card tho, about as fast as the 3850.

If i were you i'd go for the 3850, it's a great little card. Will be more than adequet (Not sure how to spell that one) for the resolution you game at.
