Nvidia are the coolest, i had to save for over a month to get mine (EVGA GeForce 8800 GTS SuperClocked 640MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI) but its worth it as i do Game , spec and picture below >


GeForce 8800 GTS core running at 575MHz - Shader Clock Speed of 1350MHz - 640MB GDDR3 Memory running at 1700MHz - 320-Bit Memory Interface - 96 Stream Processors - Shader Model 4.0 - Texture Fill Rate: 24 billion/sec - Memory Bandwidth: 64GB/s - Designed For Extreme HD Gaming - Nvidia Pure Video Technology - Dedicated Video processors free the GPU Shaders to run 3D applications - Dual dual-link DVI supports two 2560 x 1600 resolution displays - HDCP Enabled

It doesn't matter for me - but I prefer ATI , I don't know why.

Hi Mark

ATI / AMD do make some very good GPUs, and in my next build i may go ATI, the Radeon HD 3870 X2 1024MB GDDR3 > Here looks very good but i also want to look at the 8900s, each camp make brilliant Graphics Cards (there is not much in it between the two ! )

when i had my tower pc, it was gforce and was good, macs are ati and are equally as good - tbh i've never been that into graphics cards

Thats the difference Ian you buy a mac "off shelf" and you can build a tower PC depends what you prefer

you can buy a tower "off the shelf" too, what's your point?

Oh yes you can buy Desk top PCs off the shelf (ive never had one, all of mine have been built) and many off the shelf are overpriced and under powered, what i was saying is many mac users dont build, Im not saying there is anything wrong with mac, i know a lot of builders and not one has ever built a mac AFSIK

what's your point

your a mac user so you wont be following new GPUs latest benches

Well ATM ATI is way out front with there Radeon HD 3870 X2 1024MB GDDR3 TV-Out/Dual DVI/HDMI > Here twin GPUs and a very cool spec !

ATI Radeon HD 3870 X2 1024MB

Oooooh! Pretty!

Agree Ken its gorgeous , Crossfire in one card !, its going to be interesting to see what nVidia bring out next with the 8900 series
