Which brand?

[Cleeecooo]

I currently have a 5850 (which i think has broken) so i was wondering which brand are best for ATI/AMD and why. Also which one is the best for the new GTX 580? and whether i should switch to nVidia from ATI. I have a budget of around £500

XFX is actually rather good - you just got unlucky. I have an XFX 5850 in my system and it has been running strong, overclocked, for over a year now.

Hello Cleeecooo, what makes you think your current card is broken? . . . and how old is it? . . . any warranty? . . . also what screen resolution do you game at?

I'd personally go with 580, looks really good, still expensive, but up to you tbh
