Right now the GTX 295 is the best but like others said on the 10th in just a few days that may change

Also thow you should think about the games your playing and if they use SLI or not.

If they don't use SLI a GTX 295 will be the same speed as a 275 in which case the 285 would be better since it only has one processer instead of 2 in sli like the 295

the best rig you should be able to have i think if you have the ungodly level of money would be 2 GTX 295 in SLI that would be over kill for anything currently out there.

On a serious note, either a 4870x2 or the gtx295.

However, if you wait a couple of weeks details of ATI's and possibly nvidia's new offerings should be available.

Yeah the 295 like everyone said. There is a big difference between the best graphics card and the best one without breaking the bank though.

Might be a bit surprised come then. I don't believe that is the actual model number. ;)
