Well im buying a new graphics card and i really cant decide. I have experienced nvidia and ati and they both have their downs. My NVIDIA card burnt out on me and Catalyst Control Center doesnt want to work on my computer and yaddah yaddah. I have 350 dollars to upgrade, i was thinking 4890 because it loves AA but then again nvidia has some good cards too. Someone help me out here.

Hmmm I can't buy the 4870x2 I don't have enough power.(580Watts)
But the GTX 285 is a possibility, maybe not the BFG one, I'm more of a XFX person .

Yeah, but the margins are relatively low. Besides, the HD4890 costs something like $100 less than the 285GTX in most cases.

Im not too sure i have enough power for SLI i have 580 watts. Also this is the reason i had such a hard time choosing in some reviews the 4890 won in other reviews or games the 285 won.

What's the rating on the 12v rail on your PSU?
& What CPU do you have/What kind of games will you play on this graphics card?
