4850/70 CF is pretty dope when it works right... some games might not like it and they may recognise only the primary card...Crysis and FC2 aren't so good for unmatched CF (newer drivers will fix this for FC2 tho)... but games like FEAR and STALKER, as well as benchmarks, will work well with a setup like that

I would go for an ATI card over the GTX 260 if it weren't for their terrible drivers. Working with so many computers gives me an insight on how many problems ATI really has making drivers that work! I just love nVidia's driver support.

 

[BongWizard]

nv puts out alot more driver updates than ati... so when there's a problem with drivers for an ati card, you either have to get a modified version or wait another month till they release some new ones... it gets a bit frustrating... especially when the drivers just dont work at all

never had any driver problems at all with either the red or green camp
