just so you know im impartial l biuld pc s as a hobby, l run an fx55 with x800xt 2 gig ram, at moment, have 6 or 7 pc s all biult, but NO laptop, lm a gamer at heart, 4 x amd systems and 3 intels and parts for 10 oldies.......l try and give people options rather than fanboy rubbish cause lets face it one year ati is ahead by a micro dot then next year its nvidea by a micro dot so whata ya do........................look at the price for performance, or if price isnt an issue then go pure performance, theres only 2 cards really up to scratch and with either one you wont go wrong, the difference in fps is very minor.. have fun.................
