XFX VS EVGA

[pell380]

hi guys i am going to buy a xfx ati 4670(1gb ddr2,128bit) or evga nvidia 9500gt(1gb ddr2,128bit)
as far i konw that 4670 is better then 9500 so i am going to by a 4670
my mother board is intel 955x and psu is 375watts
will this 4670 will work on my pc and with this psu
and xfx is reliable or evga?
because i use nvida card now and its working fine for a long time now switching to ati will it last longer and i do not overclock my cards so tell me compatibility with my board if xfx is less reliable then i will buy evga because i can not afford a card which burn .

Consider a 5670 instead of 4670 = less power draw, runs cooler & DX 11 suport. Just make sure its compatible with your mobo (PCIexpress slot ver. ).

Yes PCIe 1.0 There for avoid GPUs that are 2.1 like: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161334
Get one with 2.0 like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127528

Get the following PCI-e 2.0 HD 5670 512MB video card instead of the HD 5670 1GB as suggested above for $63 after rebate. The HD 5670 actually does not benefit from 1GB of VRAM. At best you may see 1 or 2 extra frames per second between 512MB and 1GB of VRAM.

You can see the benchmarks of the 512MB and 1GB versions in the following review:

Overall, the HD 5670 is roughly about 30% more powerful than the HD 4670. The 9500GT is a weaker card than the HD 4670.
