I think those are both great cards. However, which ever one you pick will become obsolete in a matter of days. I've run both NVidia and ATI and i've been pleased with the performance on both cards. As of right now, i'm running 2x 8800GT's SLI and the performance is great.

So it's really personal preference...

If it I had to choose the best based on maximum performance because the ATI could beat the pants off NVidia with some multimedia applications, and totally suck ballz compared to NVidia in others...

However, if i had to choose, i would say at this moment, the ATI card only because there seems to be more support in both AMD and Intel camps. For example: I'm still waiting on an SLI board that's AM3 only with DDR3 support...

when most people talk about games not supporting multiple cores, they mean CPU cores not graphics cores. They are two different things. As for the card you can go with either card. I personally prefer Nvidia.

yeah but can you explain why he is better maybe some benchmarks or explaneiton
about the prefomance of both cards ?

The 4850x2 is a faster card than the 275gtx in most benchmarks. You have to set up crossfire properly and basically have a little bit of a clue then it should be a better card. There isn't *that* much between them however, and some games still don't scale brilliantly with xfire.

 

At that level, it's not so much what is better as what is cheaper and what resolution you game at.

It's hard to help when you have provided zero information other than the names of the cards. The ball is in your court. You can give us some information about the rest of your system and what games and settings you want to play at or you can simply accuse us of not helping.

If your system isnt up to par, then neither card would be good for you. If your psu isnt powerful enough, then neither card would be good for you.
Nobody can make a suggestion to you without knowing your complete system specs and the games you play.
Theres also benchmarks on this website, so you should be able to look at the chart and get your own answer.
