not going to fit over it i just now (my opinan ) Nvidia are the best eg
AOpen 256MB Aeolus 6800 Ultra which may not be the best Nvidia put will stand upto any ATI the benchmarks prove it

Here's a list from Cnet. Hope you have a lot of money for the upper end cards.

Best for WHAT ? Gaming ? HDTV ? 3D CG Apps ?

Do you want AGP or PCI Express ?

ATI is way better!!! :lol:

No... actually I've seen some write-ups on some new NVIDIA cards that are just super sweet. You can actually tie two of them together. I can't remember the specifics though. Sorry.

Best combo would be an Asus A8N-SLi Deluxe coupled with two XFX GeForce 6800 Ultras (PVT45FUD). The motherboard comes with an SLi connection - no need to worry about that.

It'll be a snip at almost £1000 for the three items, but guaranteed you'll have one of the quickest gaming machines in the world.

Well, you did ask!

Thanks for all the info, i was looking at a Gaming Machine and im trying to save up some $CHASH$...... hmmmm thats going to take me a LONG time.

I was looking at this

http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproductdesc.asp?DEPA=0&description=14-130-203&ATT=Video+...&CMP=OTC-C173T

Do you guys think this will be able to play games like World of Warcraft at full setting with the antialising (antialising is very important to me) up? How bout Doom 3?

I am reffering to both these games at a 1280*1024 resolution. Thanks for the info!

EDIT: Btw i have a amd 64 3000+

Notice the power connector. Does your Power Supply have enough juice to run the thing ?

AGP i just noticed when i click on soop's link. uhhh, if you are going to spend that much money on the vid card u should upgrade your mobo to pci-x. you're really not getting full performance out of agp with that type of card.

[gooberguy]

The problem is that i just upgraded my motherboard......

What do you guys think is good for about 300-400$ for a MSI Neo Plat?

save yourself some money, I have a 5900 256bit/256MB and it is awesome, haven't had a problem with any games yet.

a gaming bud just got a 6600GT a couple weeks ago... upped his 3DMark score by three fold.... For gaming, your CPU should be fine, a lot of the stress is in the graphics. About a gig of RAM would be helpful too.

Make sure you have at least a 350watt power supply for that 6800 - they require that extra UMPHH! from the juice box.

In the upper scale of the video cards, comparing nVidia and ATI is like arguing which is better - BMW or Mercedes....

I think TomsHardware.com had a comparison on the cards not too long ago and there is an ATI based card that outdid the 6800ultra - but only if you're willing to shell out $900 US dollars for it.....

you can buy an msi pci-x board for $169 or that asus for $240 off of newegg. im just tryin to say if you are going to drop that type of money on a vid card dont waste your money on agp. if you are going to stick with agp for now drop $150 on a card that will get you by for a good while

Since upgreading my motherboard is not an option right now, iwas looking at this

http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=14-130-193&depa=1

It seems nice for the price and much better then my current nvidia fx 5200 128mb.

But i have to get the approval of videohelp.com!

well, to make it the fastest gaming machine, add on a Athlon64 FX-55 CPU with an additional £500-£600 to the cost
