My b/day's coming up, and my dad told me he's gonna buy a graphics card for me so I can play FS2004 as well ;D but he needs to know which one, but I don't know which one to choose. Need a little help here!

EHM-0654 Murray:
If you're an ATI head, the 9800XT is the top of the tree at ATI (for the moment).

If you're an nVidia bunny, the FX5950 Ultra rules the roost.

For less than pipe-hitting hardware, I honestly couldn't comment... what's the point in looking anywhere but the bleeding edge? :D

And in the unbiased world I inhabit, I don't mind admitting that the ATI is faster than the nVidia, but as I've had problems with the ATI cards I've owned (most recently a 5700), just as soon as I've saved the £300 for it I'm getting myself an MSI FX5950 (to go with my loverly MSI mobo)

EDIT: And of course, both parties have their next-gen technology waiting in the wings - nVidia are expected to announce NV40 a fortnight or so ahead of ATI announcing R420... and with luck the current high-end cards will begin to dip in price sometime soon after...

EHM-0962 Zhen Yi:
I would choose the nVidia FX series. you wouldn't want a lot of downtime trying to fix problems that crops up would you? but since they are pushing out new technologies soon, you may want to wait a bit before buying

EHM-1343 Jonathan:
NVIDIA by a mile, cheap, cost effective and easy to use, what more could you ask for.;)

EHM-0813 Guillermo:
how does the GeForce FX fare with Windows XP? My current GeForce 2 is really, REALLY messing up my system in combination with WinXP.
