So yeah I'm pretty inept when it comes to current cards. I've got about £150 to spend on one for my new PC, and I *think* this is decent; http://www.techradar.com/reviews/pc-mac/pc-components/graphics-cards/xfx-hd-6850-1005635/review Anyone got advice or know a better one ? Previously I just had a cheap radeon 5 series
560ti has been great for me in my current system. Yet to find a game I cant run maxed at 1920x1080 It also means you can save a shit ton on your heating bill.
Dunno, always used Nvdia, been great for drivers. Brothers a pretty big ATI fan though and he's always had problems with his particular low end card and it's drivers. But meh could be exceptions.
Never had issues with either drivers either. Only thing i would say about ati is lack of PhysX support. But not such a big deal really. ATI having bad drivers is from ages ago, they're fine now
You can turn on physx for ATI cards for most games with a signal line of code. The only problem is that it renders from your CPU so unless you have an i7 @ 4GHz expect some horrible framerates compared to a Nvidea card.
