Don't know what to do. Can get MSI for 290Can and ATi for 294Can. Seem to be the best deals I can find for decent cards. Benchmarks frequently show the GTS to be faster in 16bit and at least comparable in 32bit. But the ATi has more more and faster memory (according to specs), and appears to have features that will allow it to be useful for upcoming games. I want this card for fast high quality gaming, and support for upcoming games (so I don't have to buy a new card in a few months). I also want crisp 2D image (which I can from GTS by moding the board), and good DVD both on the monitor and television. The GTS has fewer all round features but seems faster and easier to config. And apparently the MSI GTS is pretty quick to start with and can be o/c'd quite a bit. The Ati has more yummy options, but appears less stable overall, and the 16 bit performance seems kind of lame. I also wanted to have the option of using a second monitor, but it looks like neither of these cards support both tv-out and a second monitor at the same time. Suggestions/comments? (no flame or simple "x kicks ass" posts please)
EDIT: would also like for fiddling with complex scenes in progs like 3DS, Bryce, Truespace, etc.
