Confusion about choosing graphics card
Pretty much it seems that Ati is going up in smoke. Based mostly on the many forumer based opinions, it seems that the Nvidia models are a better value. I've also heard rumors of ATI "Cheating in 3dMark pro by Cutting the I.Q lower", and that the 9200's models might be released this month. In contrast, it seems that ATI has a higher memory speed and GPU speed (which would probably help my single core computer) and that they seem to sync much better than Nvidia models.
So here's the questions
1.) What is it about the Nvidia models(Other than price/power usage) that makes them better?(Power is not a problem when you run 1k power supply like I do )
2.)How can ATI actually cheat a benching program?
3.)which models are better synched?
My system:
Cpu:Intel 3.73 extreme singlecore
Ram :2GB OCZ Gold (I think)
Mobo: Asus P5Wd2 Premium
Power supply: Antec Quattro 1000w(Got it heavily rebated)
