@2,3: Better to hold your tongue and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and confirm it.

Dan’s Data just did a round-up of current-gen video cards, and he (like me) agrees with #6 about the 4850. That’s the go-to card for value right now. I just have to upgrade my ancient rig to a PCI-E motherboard — somehow I’m stil chugging along with a P4P800-E…

amd/ati has been the standard means of referring to the graphics company (the artist formerly known as ati?) for quite a few months now.

l see some people are still out of the loop, but it is becoming standard practice to simply call them AMD graphics cards/chips now.

For $200 the 4850 looks to be a killer card, wish I could get one. I am waiting on software from iZ3d to allow my dual polarized stereoscopic LCD rig to work on cards other than legacy nVidia products for OpenGL and DirectX video games. If you don't game in stereo vision, you might as well poke one of your eyes out. see mtbs3d.com for info and stereo screen caps from recent games.

AMD bought ATI. Flameage ill-considered.

This is yet another reason AMD continues to provide the better value…
