4670HD VS Gefore 8600

[Shpati]

Which is better for my machine, a ati hd 4670 or geforce 8600. I want to play world of WarCraft with really High quality and high performance. It is between these two cards. If you think one is better than the other then please pick which is the better brand for my machine as well. (that will help me alot. ) I ask that you do not include which one is the better deal (price wise). just the one that is better for my machine and give the best performance (unless there is a 30 dollar difference or more). i posted a few other threads and it seems like it is down to these two cards. If you guys think there is another card i should get than i guess you should post. but i think these are the best for me, since my machine is not up to date. my specs are below:

305 Watt Power Supply
Pentium 4 3.00 GHZ HT
PCI x16 slot
Dell Dimension E510
3 giggs of ddr2 ram
19 inch monitor (not wide). 1280x1024 resolution

There is not a reason to worry about comparing. The 4670 takes the 8600 to school.

The 4670 is a lot and i mean a lot better card, It will run on your machine with no power problems and if your considering the 8600 as an upgrade then prepare to be totally impressed. What are you using now ?

An ATI 600x 256 MB SE that came with the computer. i think it is an onboard card
