Thinking btw the 4850CF or GTX280, considering the fact that warranty wise nvidia card manuf do much better. I am dissing the 4870x2 because on low resolutions it doesn't really outperform a 4850CF. Off course if I'd be going with a 4870CF then GTX280 not even a question, but its almost going to be $100 more than a 4850 (single card).
Thanks guys. |
Frankly it wont matter which flavour you choose (nVidia/ATI) after sales service will be dictated by the "manufacturer" and there are significant differences in the after sales service for almost identical products. I explored this issue when making my Video Card decision:
Which brand off HD4850 should I get, want technical input
Damn there is one company/brand in particular that offers a "Limited Lifetime Warranty", just can't remember which and you can find it quite easily on their website but I couldn't get them in Australia.
Imho a single 4870 or GTX260 will give you more performance than you will need and possibly use, unless your going to upgrade to a larger monitor.
