How is that vid card for the money? Reviews seem ok, even though NE picks which ones they show. Anything better for the money? or slightly more? ---

The ATI one is good too,Nvidia is winning the Gfx card war for the moment.ATI hasnt made any “Junk” cards though,they compete pretty well with eachother and are similar. What kind of games do you plan on playing? ---
