hi. i want to get a high end graphic card, but not sure which brand to go for. either ATI Graphics or NVIDIA graphics. if it is ATI, i am going for a HD4870, if not, i will go for a GeForce 9800 GTX+. also, which manufacturer (eg Gigabyte, Asus) is better for their graphic card? Thanks a lot!

edit: any of u guys using a GTX200 series graphic? how is it?

Lol... Both are good, but i'll go for ATi, simply because they've made such a good graphic card this time round. The HD4870 is better than 9800GTX+ in alot of ways, and it can even compete with higher priced GTX260/280. You can go to alot of gpu review sites, they'll tell the same story. But it'll eat alot of power though...

Not sure about the manufacturer though, i tink both are taiwanese(?) companies.
