Well, for now, just stick to ATI cards

..They reign for now

...Might wanna wait for the new 4850X2 which is about to be released soon

(wait..4850 is using ddr3 o_o, better stick to 4870 then

..you won't regret your choice

)

I would go for the HD4870 it seems to be the best out of the bunch.....

A friend of mine bought a 4870 and has had nothing but problems with the drivers since day one.

4870 wins hands down. if i were n your place i would definately go for ati 4870 considering its price to performance ratio

The topic starter probably would have bought a new card by now (1 month old thread). 4870 is indeed the best of these three, but the 4850 has a better price/performance ratio.
