Its been a while since i've been on the forums, but i'd like to get some advice about a new card. I've been doing a little research and noticed that the 4870 and gtx 260 are very close in performance. although i've been reading other threads and i know most of you are probably going to push for the 4870. From the benchmarks that i have been looking at the games i play run slightly better or comparable to the 4870. Nvidia also has CUDA, so i think im going to stay with the gtx 260.
So my question to you is which company should i go with for the gtx 260. I want to keep the price sub $250 (AMIR) if at all possible so that rules out all the new core 216's. I really like evga because of their warranty, however i notice MSI has a better deal. The MSI comes with R6V2 and also includes a dvi>hdmi adapter which i will be needing anyway for $230 AMIR whereas the evga comes in at $230 AMIR without the game and the adapter. I've never owned an MSI video card nor do i know anyone that does so im a little skeptical buying if it only has a 1 year warranty. Will the MSI be on par with evga and all those other brand names?
