video card advice, 256bit vs 128bit memory interface

[quote=“FightinMike,post:17,topic:39280"”]

8800GT’s are commanding a 15-25% premium right now since they are still the best performing card for the money. ATI has nothing in the running and the GTX is still around 500 bones.

ATI has the HD3870, it about 10% slower than a 8800gt but then again its almost 25% cheaper… and don’t forget the dual HD3870 (on the same card) is coming out soon and should easily take a GTX for around the same price… as long as ATI doesn’t seriously mess it up, it really depends on what you want but you can’t go wrong with either a 8800gt, 3870 or 3850

I get over 12000 in 3dmark06 (default settings) with my 3870… runs crysis on almost all high at 1920x1080… so I can’t really complain for 219$
