Its moreso a media center based GPU, meaning its not the best for gaming, it will play half life fine but not the more modern games like call of duty, mirrors edge, crysis etc.
im not a fan boy, i look for cheap things who are worth their price, i rushed too much as i bought a nvidia 9800gtx+, now i know ill buy ati next time
If ATI is so good, I wonder why so many AMD Motherboard manufacturers, put Nvidia chipsets on the boards?? other then price/performance? I love AMD/ATI, but i had to go with an AMD Phenom X4 /Nvidia combo for the price.
Unless the game is using Nvidia architecture, like Crysis, or RE5 for example, I have had both ATI and, Nivida chipsets with my AMD boards/laptops, and just end up with more value for my money with Nvidia, not only gaming, but in over OS performance. AMD still kicks ass. :-)
Well my new ASUS Phenom II x4 board must be really old then LMAO, It has Nvidia chipsets built right into the board, and Nivida did not stop making chipset for AMD boards, but for Intel at the moment, cause of the lawsuits they are dealing with.
My AMD X4 Phenom II BE 3.4Ghz quad-core is a amazing processor and paired with my HD 4890 it's just kickass, I think AMD and ATI know what they are doing and are only getting better.
It's not like that believe me. Phenom II is a good rival to Intel's cpus and it fits old boards too. Intel change platform so often that when a new cpu is out you have to change the motherboard/memory again and again. AMD saves me money !
was i correct to get quad from nvidia ??

the 4870 should be able to play most games at high settings (not including crisis but it can still run it on medium and low).

sorry, fan boys to the right, the best performance/price ratio goes to ATi/AMD not to nVidia.
