Uh, you've run Nvidia graphics cards since 1980? when Nvidia's very
first part was NV1, aka the Diamond Edge 3D circa 1995 or so?

Alex,
Thank you. I understand your value/performance metric. At this
point, I would be happy to follow this path! It seems that the
collective has soured on nVidia. Perhaps drivers, perhaps card
architecture; I just do not know ATM. All I know, is that the
general "push" seems to be toward ATI.
I am playing stupid here. I feel caught between 2 strong camps.
The last video card I did any serious research on with way back with
the GeForce4 series cards. I suspect a lot has changed/upgraded. I
have run nVidia video cards since ~1980. I still run many.
But, the conventional wave seems to point to ATI ATM. Have I missed
something?
Thank you,
Duncan

In what way does Nvidia does not have their shit together? I'm not
partial
to either brand, only to value-performance.

Alex,
So, are you suggesting to blow off the 4670 and just focus on the
4350
until I can afford the 4780?
Thank you for the link, but I may have drawn the wrong conclusion.
I am
not opposed to an nVidia solution, but at the moment, it seems that
nVidia
just does not have their sh** together.
Some words might help.
Best,
Duncan
