Guys, i'm about to upgrade my torrent PC graphic card.

Before this, it's on 2900XT.
Since it's a Torrent PC, you know it's on 24/7/365, which you also know how hot is a 2900XT.

This torrent PC will be using only one card.

This PC is not for media purposes, it's only made for torrent and gaming purposes for my lil brother's.
It's not made for watching videos or any other types of media.

I've heard that 8800GT is better on gaming compared to 3870 while 3870 is better on videos compared to 8800GT.

Okay, since this PC will only be used for Gaming & Torrent, which way should i go?
Nvidia 8800GT or ATI 3870?

Please, For The Love Of God!

Err bro, the 2900XT has already been sold and now there's no graphic card inside.

That's why i've opened this topic asking for which way should i go.

Yes he does.
He's playing Crysis, Supreme Commander, HellGate London and some other graphic demanding games.

Seriously if i were to go for 3850 or 8600, i would be hell of an evil brother to downgrade from 2900XT to those cards.

So goldfries, which way should i go?
3870 or 8800GT?

Not really high lar, only around 1280X1024 but AA is a must.

Owh for god's sake, please read my 1st post.
Did i say i want to upgrade the whole system?
I'm just looking on to buy a new graphic card.

I never mention upgrading the whole system.

Sheesh!
N00b's nowadays just spamming around without even reading the 1st post properly.

Owh and one more thing i realize.
I've seen a lot people talking about ATI's IQ being better than Nvidia.
What's the meaning of that?

My lil' brother is a great gamer, i build the whole system just for him.
I use my own money, i didn't just build it only for Torrent. I also build it for my little brothers to play the latest games.

And now you say not worth it?
Please, i ask you again, read the first post god damn it!

Argh, looking at your post gives me the headache.

Only on gaming or both gaming and watching videos?
