O ohnoes In Runtime Messages 406 Jan 11, 2008 #14 i wouldnt get either, rather get a 7900 GS or a 8600 GTS but if you have to pick between those get the ati(though ati isnt reliable*opinion*)

See, I hate it when people do that. People come up with 2 choices and someone goes off with some other ones, even though you were on topic a little.

worshipme Golden Master Messages 5,603 Jan 12, 2008 #16 The 3850 absolutley destroys the 8600GTS. ATI is definitely winning in the midrange. Out of those two cards, the 2600 wins. You can also use this chart to help you: http://www23.tomshardware.com/graphics_2007.html?modelx=33&model1=1059&model2=1066&chart=275 As you can see, the 2600 is clearly the better performing card.
