    I say EVGA cards look better, but thats only my opinion.
    noasian im sure that if nvdia comes out with nvidia GDDR5 it will blow ati's away

    I would love this, but Nvidia cards are almost an inch longer than ATI cards atm and im pretty sure their stuff won't fit into my case

    But the thing is gonna retail for around 15 hundred... For that I may aswell get 3 285s or wait for the GT3 series and pick up 2 of those which'll spank the mars and cost alot less.



    @noasian

    If it wern't for ATI's horrible drivers they'd be a great alternitive to Nvidia. And yeh, they're that bad. I picked up and ATI card few months back and the graphics drivers gave me such a headache I went to Micro Center and picked up an Nvidia card. The ATI card's a paper weight now. Never going back.
