So I'm thinking of getting a new video card.

I need a new one. Any suggestions? I'd prefer a nvidia but I'll go with ATI if I'm desperate. I dont have infinite money right now... my max budget is 350 bucks. So... what should I get?

Get the hd5870

You DO know that costs over $500 right?

No.

Negatory - $400 for that model. You DO know that you're wrong, right? (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161301)

This (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121349) is within your budget range, but for the moment it's out of stock...

Nvidia's shit isn't coming out until "late Q1" or Q2.

$400. Good deal. Meh... I only have $350 to spare. I love how my Birthday and christmas are 3 weeks apart, so I dont get ripped off for either one. :D
I found a good choice for my next present.

Keep them coming!

E: Less ati options guys. I know they have the best card out now, but that'll be replaced my nvidia's whatever.

Could you post the specs of your current computer so we can see what video card is appropriate for your system? Awesome.

Sorry man, but all you're going to get is suggestions for ATi cards because they are that much better than anything nVidia will be able to pull out of its ass.

We've done the logic for you back in the summer so you don't need to worry about our suggestions being biased. Request it if you must. Also, why waste $350+ now if you plan to waste another $350+ on a crappy nVidia card in the future? You're guaranteed a video card that will last 3+ years with the HD 5800 series from ATi.

P.S. My birthday is just over one week before Christmas...so you could imagine.

My birthday is on Christmas...:saddowns:.

Seriously dude, nVidia won't have anything out until the second quarter of 2010 by the most recent estimations, and they are presently ramping down production of their GTX200 series cards. This means that their inferior cards will continue to be priced high as stocks run dry and are not replenished. This also means you are stuck with that terrible, terrible company called ATi :v:.
