Hi guys,
I need to upgrade a good friends PC. It's an nForce 4 mobo with an X2 4800.
I do NOT want any trouble. PSU is a good quality Tagan so no juice issues. Good cooling on the case too.
Simply put, the 4870 should be the best choice, and money's ok on any of these three cards...BUT...nVidia seem to have nailed the reiability issues on this set of cards, and the ATI seem to be causing a few heart aches.
Is this right in your experience? If it were for me, I'd not fret. But once this is installed and I walk away, I wont be there to fix it/fiddle with settings. I'll stress it for a few hours with CoD4 and other games, but......
which would you buy for someone else?
