Nvidia.

Depends on the card really, Nvidia has the fastest currently available (8800 Ultra) but ATi probably has the best value cards for now (1950pro @ £70 and the 2900pro at £165).

[Raikiri]

[gareth170]

and for below £70

ati x1950 would be the one but it isn't below £70...

if u want a card below £70 , a 2600xt or 8600

the x1950 is the best of the x1000 range and the 2900xt is the best of the hd2000 range

 

[QlimaxUK]

ok so x1950 is the best, until the more expensive HD 2900's

this better then the x1950?

 

[LoadsaMoney]

Nope.

x1950 is better than the 2400's/2600's.

ati x1950 would be the one but it isn't below £70...

Not a big gain, but worth the £8.

 

[LoadsaMoney]

The 512mb is deffo worth the extra £8 over the 256.
