Which is the best card for running Age of Conan, which would run it on maximum settings?

8800 GTX = 764 Ram
8800 GT = 1024 Ram
9800 GTX = 512 Ram

I'll have AA on and a high resolution.

Any suggestions would be really appreciated.

Thanks all :)

You don't put their see their RAM as the only factor when you see a Graphics card, there are a lot of things to see when you compare, the best way is to read the reviews.
The best here is the 9800GTX, but I would recommend you a 4850, it performs slightly better than the 9800GTX at cheaper price that is.

Hadn't really given ATI any serious thought to be honest. Been a bit blinkered with nVidia.

All I want to be certain of, is running Age of Conan on max settings

4850 by several miles

better yet splurge and get a 4870, the new hot thing which apparently is also very very cheap

You need a lot of graphics hardware to run age of conan at max settings

4870 will maybe get you 1600*1200 and mostly max, but doubtful

Age of Conan is a very graphically intense game, the only single video card i've heard that runs it perfectly is a gtx280, and thats a 600$ video card.

You might be able to run it maxed out on 2 ati HD4850s for 400$ or 2 9800 GTX for 400$ but even that might be cutting it close~

Instead of those, get a g92 8800gts for $119.99 ar.

It performs around the same as 8800gtx:

Why do we see extreme nVidia newbie fanboys like everyday single day after the release of the 4800s?

Difference in these cards is only the factory OC right?
By fantastik250, 43 minutes ago:

I should say that is the only difference.
