Which Card for Gaming at 1920x1080

For that res,either GTX 295 or HD 4870X2 would be good.

I've never had any experience with the ATI line of cards. Will the 4870x2 do just as well as the Nvidia cards?

P7N Diamond
4gb Hyper X at 800
750 pcpower and cooling psu
e6850
Raptor HD 150gb
coming from 8800gtx sli

I would vote for the GTX 295, HOWEVER, you will want to research this and see which performs better in which games. They seem to trade punches depending on what title you are testing. ALSO, I've seen reviews where the 295 does better in Vista and the 4870x2 does better in XP in the same title.

The Nvidia's favor the new i7 CPU's which is what you see used in alot of the test systems used for the benchmarks. So it might be difficult to actually tell which will run better in your system.

I would tend to lean to the 295, it's new and seems to do better than the x2 in most games in Vista. Which I would think is what you are running... I hope.

I agree^

Your best bet would be to wait and see what comes out (information wise) and you'll see prices fluctuate as well witht he 285 GTX single GPU crown coming out.

What about 9800GTX+? I think it'll be o.k

card is long gone, lol your better off buying the 260 GTX old if youc an find it, which can be found for under 200$ if thats the card of choice.

I'd say wait a little bit and see how performances tally up

This isn't a suggestion for a card but rather so you can look at some of the latest benchmarks using different high end cards at high resolutions. Happy hunting.
