I think I\'ll get a Radeon next year.  What are your thoughts about the two?

If 2d is an issue to you go with the Radeon, or a good brand like LeadTek (if you go with nVidia that is).

On spec the Radeon8500 is more powerful than the GF.3, but beware ATi isn\'t knows for rock solid drivers.

Wait a few weeks and see how the Radeon Drivers are.

Im holding off upgrading and want the Radeon with its kick arse image quality.

But drivers atm :evil:
I met him 15 years ago, I was told there was nothing left, no reason, no concious, no understanding and even the most rudamentory sense of life or death, good or evil, right or wrong, I met this 6 year old child with this blang pale emotionless face and, the blackest eyes, the devils eyes, I spent 8 years trying to reach him, and then another 7 trying to keep him locked up because I realised what was living behind that boys eyes was purly and simply evil.

I\'m leaning toward the Radeon because of price.  If I do get one next year (as in the summer) the drivers should be pretty solid.
