Last Saturday I took a break from doing my taxes and played a round or two of BF2, video card burned out while playing.
I figured I'd try nvidia this time around and ran down to Fry's to see what they had. I was faced with the most bewildering array of numbers and letters I've ever seen. I couldn't figure it out, I couldn't determine from the numbers on the box, or the price, which card was the better value, or even what to expect performance wise.
So I admit it now for all the world to hear, nvidia beat me, they just plain outsmarted me. I ended up buying a 3870 because I at least had a rough idea of what to expect, not because I felt it was in any way better than what nvidia was offering in the same price range.
