Some games will run better on ATi graphics cards, others on nVidia. You can't win them all, I'm afraid.
Yes, one card might be marginally better than another at a certain point in time. If you can see the difference between 100 frames per second and 85, you're a better man than me Gunga Din. The only important thing is "can you play the game enjoyably (possibly at wide freakin' open graphics settings if that's important to you. It is to me)." I'd say marginal differences between cards are of secondary imporatance.

Of PRIMARY importance is what happens to your cash when your $350, $450, dare I say $600 if you like spending too much money , does this:

See all those little electrolytic cans there. They aren't supposed to be vented at the top. Actually, I'm told they exploded, as would my money with most game card companies. That's why you want a company like EVGA standing behind it. They have a lifetime warranty on all their cards and mean it. Read this:http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...&postcount=103. Any possible reason to buy a card from somebody else? Nope.
