Question for you guys I've looked all over the Internet but found nothing, I Have a ATI X1950 Pro 512mb PCIe Card pre-installed very nice card.. I bought and install a ATI 3450 HD 512mb card, I check it with the Vista Proformance thing under system... The X1950 pro with a 5.9 and 5.8, the new 3450 got only a 3.9 and 4.1 ???? Is this card better or should I switch back?? Thanks for any info

Thanks for the Quick reply, What ATI card would be better?? at a good price, not looking for the best but want directX 10.

A better ATi card would be the 3870.
Or you may choose 3870 x2 - that one has two 3870 chips on one card.

To tell you the truth , nvidia is doing alot better then ati right now as far as high end cards and prices. An nvidia 9600 gt out performs a 3870 and is bout 150 to 170$. Ati how ever is doing better in every other catagory other then highest speed.
