    Re: Which one should I choose?

    I'm too lazy to compare all the specs individually, but I personally have an 8600GT; it runs both COD4 and Crysis extremely well (COD4 on optimal: medium settings + 2x AA, Crysis on optimal: medium settings & no AA)

    Note: If you do play Crysis, the FPS noticeably drops on the final boss battle, as it is INCREDIBLY graphically intensive. But the moment you turn away from the boss, it speeds up again.

    I would go for the NVIDIA. I think this is the one I have in my Desktop, and it works very well.

    $85 seems to be a good price.

    Re: Which one should I choose?

    I never liked ATI, mainly because that is what I have and I cant even play Halo with the textures, shadows, etc on high.

    And I had to crank DOWN the graphics on my Steam games, because if I did not I would not be able to even play them.
