LOl I like Nvidia more than ATi but you can get a HD 4870 for less and it kick the 8800Ultra behind :p

That card is way expensive. Get the HD4870, it kicks its......

Heck, even the HD4850 ($199) would give it some competition.

The 8800 Ultra is a very old card (almost 2 years old, it came out in the winter of 2006). A 9800GTX for under $200 would outperform it, or even better the 4870 for $309.

thank for the advice!

Or a 4850 for 150-200. I'd say that's the best deal.

zomgjerry · 06-26-2008, 11:54 PM

go for the 9800 GTX...cheaper good enough and from nvidia [;

nVidia isn't the best anymore....
