For a single card, getting a Geforce 8800GT.
If you going for two cards crossfire setup get the AMD Radeon 3850, I heard that AMD/ATI cards scales better than Nvidia cards. Anyway, its real exciting time for GPUs this year and next year. |

But i swear to god that i would devote my life for ati(ati die hard fan) haha
Not for nothing..Every ati's graphic pictures looks alittle bit more realistic compare to Gf. I wonder..I heard of some people having trouble with 8800gt while playing battlefield..(some driver problem probably) If someone would provide a nice video clip(not those youtube coz cant see any different with such blurry and small resolution) for both graphic card playing the same game, then choosing would have been easier.. haha.. p.s* in a littlebit tight budget coz 8800gt in my place might not be selling that cheap.. |

with the power of 8800GT, perhaps 512MB would be a better choice.
even X1950GT 256mb vs 512mb shows framerate difference. |
