k i am stuck here i want the best video card that is around 400$ the cheaper the better. i am going to be playing crysis and call of duty on a 24' screen max resolution. i was going to go with the gtx 285. but have learned that the 9800 gx2 is way more powerful for half the price

help would be apprecaited :) 


4850x2.

The 9800GX2 isnt WAY more powerful, but at that resolution im sure it beats up on the GTX 285. However the card is hard to find nowadays, its not even sold on Newegg anymore.

These X2 cards dont hang around long.

i don't know what the rest of your hardware os but I play crysis with an over clocked GTX260 and don't have any problems @16x10. A 280 or 285 should be fine............... 9800gtx = JUNK ! Doesn't have the memory ( 256 ) to handle tough games. 256 + 256 does NOT = 512.

Yeah, with prices dropping on 4870, you could get two hd4870 1gb cards for sub $400.
I have one hd4870 1gb and I run COD 4 maxed at 1920x1080 smooth as baby's butt. Now for Crysis I run it at 1980x1080 but with no AA and at Gamers Settings. My frames stay in the 42fps range.
