From what I can see I won't be able to use any card that requires addition power connections other than through it's connector (I've seen some cards that require 1-2 additional cabling to power supplies). I'd like something that has at least 1Gb of adapter RAM, if possible.
My eyes are starting to bleed from researching video cards.  |
I see both nvidia and ati as good cards, but currently nvidia is the only to support in-house and more "standard" stereoscopy solution (3D Vision). Ati supports some third party 3D solutions (iz3d monitor), but it is not so spread/standard and you are chained to a single monitor.
I say that, just in case you may like stereocopic gaming/movies. Depending on your location you can go to a shop that demoes this (I recommend it) before deciding...
After some years of stereoscopic gaming for me it is clear, if there is not 3D support, there is no sale. But I know people that does not like it...
