What is the best video card for the i7 880

[woodedlane]

Hello, I thought I read somewhere that AMD processors worked better with Radeon and Intel processors worked better with nVidia. Any truth to that?

You can use any of them mixed together without problem, so just like ct1615 said above, no truth to that...

i7 (and most modern CPUs/Chipsets) work very well with both. In the past, some chipsets had incompatibilities or were lacking features, but the P55/X58 erased this by supporting SLI and CFX.

If you're spending the money for an i7, you'll want a graphics card to match, which implies one of the nVidia GTX cards (the 295 being the top of the heap, although it's more expensive than most i7 processors).

If going NVidia, I'd prefer the 470 or 480 or dual 460s over the 295 myself (DX11 and all that good stuff).
