Which card to buy?

[unimatrixzer0]

I currently have a Core 2 Duo @ 3.6GHz and was just wondering what video card I could get from either the Nvidia or ATi side without having to worry about my CPU being the bottle neck. For example I don't want to buy a HD4870X2 if the cpu will be the bottleneck.

A C2D will not bottleneck your system with any single slot video card solution currently in production.

whats your games?
what do $$ do you have to work with?
whats your upgrade after this plan?

Your cpu is going to be fine if you go with any of the cards out there.

You want to fastest card? get the 295

If not simply go with 280 or 4870x2. decide on which card depending on the games you play most. But
either way your not going to have a problem really.

Want to keep cost down. Get at 260
