    The GX2 is the faster card but it is almost double the other in price, it depends how much you game and what the other £150 could be used for

    as a true nVidiot, i buy nVidia.

    i will admit that ATI has the better price/performance ratio.

    but i prefer power/performance personally.

    and good linux drivers are a major plus.

    but either a 7950 or a 1900 would be a good choice.
