Hello all,
Please help me decide which is best to buy. I am a pretty avid FPS gamer. I play now COD4, UT3, BIA, WIC, Crysis, etc. and want to play Far Cry 2, Crysis 2, COD WAW, Fallout 3 all in high resolution with some AA and AF turned on, but I play at 1280 x 1024. Currently my 8800GT is about to go out ( I will RMA since I have a dbl lifetime warrenty - thanks xfx) and I will sell the RMA replacement. I was looking at the 9800GTX+, 9800GX2 or the 260. It looks like the 9800GTX+ can be had for about $170 and the other two can be had for about a hundy more ($270). The cost is osmewhat an issue, but I want something that will last me for a while. I was hoping the 8800gt would have. Also, I am somewhat am Nvidia Fanboy. I know the 4850 and 4870 are good, but are they really that much better than the nvidia options?
My config is on the left and in the sig.
Thanks for all your help.
