Currently I have an Nvidia 9600 GT in my i7-870 box. The E8500 box has
the 280 GTX, so I'd like to replace the 9600 with something that is a
little bit faster than the 280. That is something with good bang for
the bux. Not looking to spend much this time around. I don't have a
prejudice on Nvidia or ATI. In the far past I got turned off of ATI due
to their OpenGL implementation and the fact that every new driver broke
something else. I'm assuming that under the wing of AMD, that both
situations have gotten much better.
The variety of models has gotten staggering and the numbering has gotten
ridiculous, you can't count on a larger number being a faster card. I'm
doing research now, but I'd like to see what everybody has experience with.
The E8500 has been my gaming box, but it's time to move it over. Rather
get a new card than swap cards.
Thanks...Steve
