nVidia's 5700 series was a benchmark for low cost high performance.. (look for some in the $60-$100).. and the 5900 is a good card too. No matter if you buy from ATi or nVidia.. make sure you don't get any 256Mb card if you have a choice of (128Mb vs. 256Mb.. or 256Mb vs. 512Mb). If the card you choose comes in two memory versions don't buy the higher one. They have been benchmarked with higher latency due in part to memory buses for more memory.. and the type of memory being stuck on video boards. It's not a tremendous amount.. but the 128Mb cards refresh faster.. just as long as you don't need the higher 256Mb memory.. don't buy it.
Let them hate.. so long as they FEAR!
