Tweakboy: Please stop spreading FUD. You don't need to reformat just to switch video cards. Even if a regular uninstall isn't good enough, using a driver cleaner should clear up any issues. It's not worth it to buy a worse/more expensive card just so you don't have to switch between ATI and nvidia.

+1...Never met a tech who formatted because of changing GPU manufacturers..its so stupid, its laughable...imagine the time, to install all your apps, settings, shares, games...PMSL!

OC the shit out of your CPU, then buy a 5850 on sale and OC that too. If you want even better frame rates, down the road you can add another 5850 and get a really impressive bump.
