Which one? I already have a new Radeon 8500 on its way to me... but the GF4 looks sooooo nice :)

Which would you pick and why? :D

I've answered the exact same question so many times of late it's getting seriously repetitive so I'll make it nice and quick....

R8500: 2D, DVD, multimedia capabilities etc.
GF4: Longevity, sheer 3D performance.

Do a search :p

I'd stick with the 8500 personally...the GF4 is a tad faster, but the 8500 has lots o' other features

If you play lots of games - GF4 - if not then perhaps the 8500 would be better. Depends what you want to use your vid card for. I'm using my for games so I stick with nVidia - although I almost got a 8500 just cuz they are very cheap.
