I'm so confused now .......... i guess i will go for GeForce GTX 280, i donno :frusty:
I don't have the 4870x2 but with what CustomPC says, it is the best.
And the tests i've read do clearly show that ATI's card is much better then Nvidia's...
I have the 3650 series... It's quite good for £60
Oups I just took a look at the statistics, I might be wrong :S
LOL EDIT: No, I actually stay with Radeon HD 4870 x 2
4870 x2 my choice.
I guess 4870x2
I Just built my first comp about three weeks ago, Lian li PC-A77, AMD phenom 9750, Asus M3A32-MVP Deluxe, HIS Radeon 4870, 4gb corsair dominator memory, WD caviar Blue HD, 24" ACER monitor 1920x1200, 1000 watt psu, Eclipse keyboard, and Kingston rollar mouse. So far im loving it, but it killed my wallet at 2gs. The 4870 is a killer card for the price $250. I can play Crysis at high on factory settings with little lag, and medium as smooth as can be, so with two of these cards I could only imagin how good it could get. They run really hot though, it idles at 78 c and can max at about 130 c. Hope this helps alittle.
depends what your after really, either the 9800 GX2, GTX280 or the 4870 X2, in terms of performance at present its the 4870... then again for the 3FPS is it worth the money? bang for buck.... thats the most important question
4870x2 no doubt.
I think At is in the first place..
