Does not matter if ATI or NVIDIA whichever is less problems/more reliable.

Current Card:

I need a card that will work with both Windows 7 and Windows XP as I currently have XP and I am going to upgrade to 7 but I need to backup my files first and cannot see anything with a dead video card currently in the system.

I the card to support DVI, VGA, and Display Port

Needs Pixel Shader 2.0 support (this is what the game I play requires) http://www.paradoxplaza.com/games/europa-universalis-iii-divine-wind

I found these any thoughts does the stream processors make a difference ? I don't really want to go downward from 720 to 480 but there doesnt seem to be a lot of choices for a 720 stream processor
