Solmeister : "ATi DONT make graphic Cards" (post #12)

Goodiesguy : "they used to" (post #13)

Solmeister : "No they didnt....thats the GPU manufacturer" (post#14)

Battlenetter : "Umm hate to correct you but ATI contracted 3rd parties to manufacture reference cards and sold them as there own "ATI" brand"

Sol is correct - ATI don't MAKE them. He stated that clearly. And Battlenetter, although you argue the point, you actually stated it yourself "ATI contracted 3rd parties to manufacture ......".

But enough of the semantics.

To the OP - smithinator - the 5770 is a good choice. However, if you do plan on doing anything with Linux (just putting it out there) you'll get better driver support and performance at the moment with Nvidia. I have a GTX260 OC and I've found it to be an excellent card. If you're solely Windows though - the 5770 looks better ATM.
