What do u guys that have already experience with these cards think... I have a 22inch monitor (Samsung 226bw) with 1650x1080 resolution...

I play few FPS games... like AA mostly and im in middle of Stalker... I would like to play Crysis also maybe in mid seetings... if possible... im not an all high or ultra settings... af or aa .. i dont relle care... since i havent even tried those setings:) and i dont think the difference with or without them is worth much more money... but I dont want specially Crysis to chug along while playing... as long as it will run smooth on mid detail... im satisfied... u think the 320mb will do??? or should i go for the 640.... if it makes any difference?

btw that card will be for the following already ordered sytem:

Asus P5k
E4300 overclocked with Arctic freeser 7 pro
2gb GSkill 6400 cas 5
Power supply if my current 460 Enermax will do... i aint changing it.. ( so keep in mind power requirements, i got 32A on 12v single rail)
plus the current drives and case

Well, since the 640 can now be had <300 (check hot deals) I would go with that. Otherwise its not really worth the price if you aren't that picky.

the 320 actually has a better price/performance ratio, however if your not upgrading often i would suggest the 640 because of stuff like GRAW the memory makes a big diff, and AA too

that was true 2 months ago when the prioce differecne was $100
not when 640mb can be had for 295 and 320mb for 270.

The sad thing is the 320MB price isn't dropping enough so we won't see the 640MB hit $300-320 without rebates so long as the 320MB price (without rebates) is only $290-ish. :(

nice.
Already ordered from buy.com the 640 version for $325 and $30 MIR final price = $295 I think thats the best deal for this card... if the 320mb was about $250 or less than id say thats a good deal... but for $20 difference i take the 640mb.

p.s. to get that 7% instant discount check the hot deals for a link to the 7% off.
