I always appreciated nvidia's graphics cards, because obviously they were always taking an upperhand over ATI. And when Nvidia released 200 series, I bought it as quickly as possible, the graphics I got with my games were stunning. I thought that I had the perfect graphics card on the planet as the other 280's users would also. But then, not quite late though, ATI came in the battle field, holding its newest monster, ATI 4870 X2, 2GB DDR5 graphics card, with the same price tag as of Nvidia 280 (which is only 1gb), ofcourse few companies were marketing it for lesser than that too. I thought twice but bought it, and as it was destined to be, my eyes were popped out, with full Directx 10.1 support (which ensures 25 - 30% boost in graphics and speed) and 2gb of discrete graphics memory and not to mention the DDR5 RAM, the games were in a whole new look and I could not believe it. The rain effect in Stalker, Far Cry 2, and GTA iv was just incredible. The wooden boxes actually looked damp with water as if they were real. The fire and explosion effect were just awesome and once I even thought that my screen caught fire untill the game paced. Clearly, this card just ruled nvidia and with great ATI online driver support, I will be happy for more upcoming games without changing my graphics card.

Nice review, but it would have been nice to see some fps comparisons between this and the 280. Maybe some running temps too!
