Personally, it you use an AMD processor, use a ATI, but if your using intel, go GeForce again. Also remember that a card can only preform as well as your comp. processor, so if you want the most out of your card, make sure you have at least a half decent processor. I personally have a GeForce 250 GS and its a great card(paid 170 for it). I hope that when i do my full on upgrade of my comp, ill have a 290.
