Just my $0.02 for a bit additional information on this. first, I strong
agree with Bob and Drew, currently there is no company can compare with
nVidia on high-end market. Second, since you ask for max gaming performance,
I strongly recommand buying a vidoe card with min or no additional features
(eg. TV out, 3D glasses), those cards with additional features usually don't
work very good with reference driver, another important issue with nVidia
card is - it MUST compatible with reference design! I know some cards won't
work with reference driver at all because they have specially motified video
BIOS.

Hello List,

O.K.  I've asked all my geek friends (and I have plenty), but would now like
to throw the discussion out to the knowledgable people on this list.  I am
agonizing over a video card decision and would appreciate your input.  Price
is not the issue, just performance.  I am looking for 3D gaming performance,
not regular video performance (should be a matter of course when 3D
performance is increased, shouldn't it?).

I've narrowed my choices down to two.  The ATI Radeon 64MB and the GeForce 2
Ultra 64MB.  Thoughts, opinions, rants, raves
