wtf?? at least nvidia has good driver support for their cards, ATI is a fuckin joke. Have you found anything yet jackal?
Title: Re: WTB: new vid card
Post by: pcgamer on December 21, 2009, 11:56:34 PM
the ati driver problem has become a myth now... sure it might have been bad in the 9800 days but it's no joke right now ... and it's a fact that they are leading the graphics card industry. Nvidia are nothing but lying fucks releasing faulty graphics cards and trying to cover up their shit.

i havent decided yet, and now that i am going on vacation tomorrow i can't buy anything until i get back next week. thanks for the insight though, right now i am leaning towards the 4890 but im concerned it won't fit in my case.

For those without mad Jackal cash this is the best deal going I think, performance:price ratio.  If your in Canada its even 5 bucks cheaper with the promo code.
