Nvidia replacement for my HD4890

[Khimaera]

I need a replacement for my 4890. Im thinking Nvidia just because I've always used ATI/AMD, and I just want to try them.

My budget is up to around $230.

I have my eye on this little fella here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125401

any of these will do if you want to try green but you need to ask yourself what do i play do i need physx and what resolution do you play at. I currently use a NV card because most of my games use physx and i like to play in 3d sometimes. But i do own and use cards from both companies i think blind brand loyalty is pretty stupid. Get what works for you best.

Honestly, I'm just curious. I am aware that Nvidia uses some very shady marketing tactics, but I don't really care.

Thank you for that.

OP I respect your curiosity but just understand, in your price range AMD is ideal. If you don't mind buying used, get this (it has two years of warranty left too):

But if you are hell-bent on trying out nVidia, then check out the 560 Ti or keep an eye out for deals on the 560 with 448 shaders.

I might jump on that 6950 if its till there when Im ready to buy, thank you.

So I decided to buy a 560ti. I got this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130623 for only 199.99 after $30 rebate and I am very satisfied with it.


Thanks for your input guys
