If you were to buy a new video card today, regardless of money, which brand would you get?

ATI, because GeForce 6800 Ultra is not available for purchase yet

The best card out right now is the 9800XT so ATI is my answer.

So you're a fanATIc.

Since I'm on GF3 right now, even a 9600 would be an improvement.

Is a 256MB RAM card worth it right now?

I upgraded from a GF3 ti500 to a 9600XT (128M) last december. That was definitely an improvement. What would be good for you also depends on the rest of your rig. Maybe try to find a 9700pro somewhere for a good price? or a 9800pro if the price gets right (with the X800 out).

As my card will have to last till autumn/winter this year, I did not need 256M in it and the cards they sold with 256M had slower memory.

I just upgraded (couple weeks ago) from a 1700+ to 2400+.
I have 512MB PC2100 and a GF3 TI200 128MB.
My bottleneck is definitly the vid card, so it's the obvious choice for the next upgrade.

I have the Model 8 (Thoroughbred) 2400+
Why do you say 9600? 9800 wouldn't work well? Not much performance increase? Price is obviously better on 9600.

Who voted other? And what is the "other" that you are referring to?
