GPU for 24" DGM

[james.miller]

Yup, but I'd still get the GT - it's a superior card overall with lower power consumption and better HD decoding. At the end of the day Crysis is one game; the GT pretty much rocks in any other game, even at 1920 x 1200.

being more efficient doesnt make it the superior card, not if its slower. if efficiency is your thing then sure, get the gt. if high res gaming is your thing, get the gtx.

Opted for the ATI 3870 XT 512mb in the end, spent the cash saved on other parts for the 2nd rig.

£130 inc VAT..... thats a good saving compared to even ocuk prices for the 3870 price....

Looks like a steal at that price.

Well the price is what swayed me, i noticed another supplier offering the card for 130 with VAT..... thats over a £100 compared to a GTX or £80 odd saving on a GTS (new ones).

Do not like the look of the GT and i prefer dual slot cards.

Works fine with AA on so far.....

As said though some games have to be scaled down, but you really wouldn't notice...

In all honesty i do prefer the ATI cards to.... i have consistently been let down by nvidia.

What games have to be scaled down? Everything runs fine for me, albeit I'm on a slightly lower res (1920x1080, 8800GT).
