Graphics Card Anyone?

I have to say that I am glad to see that ATI under the arms of AMD is growing stronger than ever! Oh yes, ATI has released the HD 4870 which is very affordable to consumers unlike the GT200 by rival Nvidia - expensive. I have to say that ATI is very good in releasing the HD 4850 and HD 4870 because consumers like you and I will buy them. Why? It is the champion for consumers! What is more important is that Nvidia is having some problems in their mobile chipset now days and they have to fork out a lot of money to replace them.


No doubt that Nvidia has released the ultimate graphics card - The GTX 260 but it is not necessary the best. It is overclockable and it produced very good frame rates but you would have to sacrifies on the heat that is to be produced and increased power consumption. Most of all, the noise is unbearable to me.


I think right now i would just stick to my good old Nvidia 6800GT. It is silent and keeps my pocket happy, don't you think so? I am not looking into overclocking anytime soon but for those who has deep pockets, go for the ATI HD 4870. You will not be disappointed with it.
