OK, I'm building a new computer and I'm planning on getting vista/h2vista for it. Anyways I was wondering what is the best (latest and greatest) ATI Graphics card out? Or any ATI card that is coming out soon. I want to run H2Vista at top performance and was just wondering what the best graphics card there was. I am also looking at nvidia, but I hear ATI>Nvidia. Anyways just reply back with any info I can use. I would really appreciate it.
HD2900 ftw
+rep, any other good graphics card that people have their mind on?Quote:

The HD2900XT isn't that good. It eats up a lot of power, runs hot, and is loud. Not to mention it still gets beat by a 6 month old card is some cases. I'd only consider getting a 2900XT if you have a nice power supply, and don't mind loud noises.
I honestly think the 8800GTS is a better buy at the moment - It's cheaper, uses less power, runs cooler, quieter, and performs just as well as the 2900XT.
Thanks for all replies +rep for all.
If you want the absolute 1337est, go for GeForce 8800 Ultra. Some guys did benchmark tests with this and the HD2900 and the GeForce tore it apart.
Thanks for the info, but I really don't think I want to spend 800 bucks on a graphics card. But I never indicated that I didn't want to. So thanks.Quote:

Go for an 8800 GTS, I have one and I can't wait to get it running,
