Gfx Card Options

[Prince]

Now, I haven't posted in these forums for a while but I need to know which one of these graphic cards is better.

256MB ATI Radeon X850 XT

or

256MB nVIDIA 7800 GTX - TV Out + DVI - PCI Express

Thanks in advance.

7800 GTX. No more needs be said.

7800GTX blows the 850 out of the water.

How long will it last before there's another uber graphics card released?

[lil_jimmy_norton]

ATI has the x1800 that's out now.

Yea the 1800x are the newest of the vid cards and Nvidia is constantly working on new cards. So either the 1800x series or the 7800 series, they are the top of the lines for both companies.

Get the 7800GTX, as the x1800xt (ATI's new top-of-the-line) will probably be at least $100 more than the 7800GTX. Then when your uber system can only run medium settings on a new game next year (oh no! ), just strap in another 7800GTX and it will be top of the line again .
