Of course, it's always a constant back and forth between ATI and NVIDIA. I have always owned ATI cards, not because I have anything against NVIDIA, it's just ATI has always been the best for my budgets at the time. Well now I will be building a new rig...somewhat of a budget to moderate gaming rig.
My budget for the card is $100-$180. This is the card I have come up with:
EVGA 512-P3-N801-AR GeForce 8800 GT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130318
Is this a wise choice, or is there a better card for the money. I wouldn't mind spending another 30-40 to get a much better card. Thing is, there's just so so many cards and its frying my brain just to even attempt to come up with the "best" one for me. How does ATI compare to the 8800GT, which is in the $150 price range.
Budget is $100-$180 and the rig is going to be a budget to moderate gaming rig.
