My options:
- 5770 XFX (not sure If I will get the desired perfomance for quite some time) - U$ 290*
- 5850 XFX (too expensive) - U$ 500*
- GTX 460 (EVGA 768MB) (????????) - U$ 365*
*Price converted to U$ of cards found in my country
Yes, it's expensive here!! :/
- Generally, which one has better drivers/stability/durability? (ATI or Nvidia)
- I've read that some people is having problems running TF2 (It's the game that I will play most) in GTX 460 (Like fpd drops or getting 70fps in a i5 750 + gtx 260)
- Which one will perfomance better with old games (earlier than year 2000) and emulators in general?
Tks!
