Ohhh, a chance to say "look at my e-peen":

Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 @ 3Ghz (Stock speed and cooling)
MSI P45 Neo (what version I can't tell because MSI are dumb asses and have a G43, G45, P43, P45 Neo FR, V1 , V2, V3 which is all reported as the same chipset)
8GB OCZ Gold Edition DDR2 PC2-8500C5 - but my motherboard / power supply only seems to run this stably at PC2-6400 speeds (800Mhz).
1TB Samsung SATA2 Drive
750GB Samsung SATA2 Drive
Standard Samsung DVD / CD combo drive (also SATA)
500W Coolermaster power supply
I use the Sennheiser USB headset for my sound - in preference to the on-board Realtek sound (which is distinctly average)
Antec 900 Gaming case - very ugly but good cooling (why doesn't it come with dust filters though?Huh?)
and of course,
Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 4770 512MB PCI-Express

Running 64Bit Vista Home Premium SP1... that extra memory makes the bugger fly Smiley

Btw.. the 4770's are going up in price Sad

Already £6 dearer ... not sure what's driving that I wouldn't have about the card if it weren't so damn cheap to begin with.  TBH if it gets over £85 there's little point given the competition near £100 price mark.

Not changed my opinion of the card itself.. just that the price has to make it right

Interesting Smiley 

Chaos I currently have an Nvidia 8800 ultra, but am getting the dreaded driver stopped responding but has recovered issue (TF pauses while it happens lol).

Can you recommend a better but good bang for buck card... Smiley
Well depending on what Juntas settings are his card looks good.. but what mobo do you have? if its an nVidia board, get an nVidia card.. I recomend the 9800GTX (now known as the GTX250) or if you can find a 9800GX2 for a good price thats a very good card to go with
If you have an intel board, go for an ATI card like the 4850.. thats currently the best bang per buck card out there untill the new ATI 5 series comes out soon

Cool I have a gigabyte mobo (intel chipset) so might look at the ati's....  Historically though Nvidia have pissed all over ATI guess this is no longer the case?

nVidia still do have the better GPU. I used to be a right fanboy and always hated ATI
but since the new 4 series they have really come into the spotlight. check out some benchmarks for comparison
As you can see they do very well.. theyr not quite as good as the top nvidia cards but theyr also priced to sell!
the difference in price is silly when you consider the slight difference in frame rates
So ATI are better perbuck but nVidia are better

for cards, depending on your budget the 4850/4770 are increadible for the cash so those are my recomendations.. If you have a few quid more to spend get a 4870 or 4890..
If you can wait, get the new 5850 when it comes out
Those are my recomendations

The main reason enthusiasts are going with ATI now though (even the ones with no budgets) is due to the intel chipsets on the mobo. the nVidia boards are shite! even the top end ones cant compete with a half decent P45 board for overclocking! (with the 790i you can barely get 4.0Ghz out of a Q9650)
and its
intel chipset = ATI Crossfire
nVidia chipset = nVidia SLI

Just to add that I think the 4850 isn't worth it given how close the 4770 *seems* to be (too new to tell).  The 4870's look good.

I've owned Nvidia and ATI cards, personally like the ATI's better at the moment that's all.

How come you don't have motion blur on, Junta? Do you just not like it?

I've always felt that motion blur is a really great graphical feature.

I think I might get that 5 series card when it comes out Chaos. Would it be a decent upgrade over a 9600GT? I'm running at 1920x1200
