so the ati drivers are that bad huh? I was thinking of getting a ati 5870 too

I have a evga 260 core 216 and it performs decently, only 189.99 at the the egg if you are interested

Not for everyone. Just relating my experiences. I've had artifacting and z-buffer issues on just about every ATI card I've owned, up through the x1800 series which was the last ATI card I have (it was free, so I can't complain that much about it). I'm sure there are probably system tweaks and special methods for getting the Catalyst Crapware running well but I've yet to figure it out. With NVidia, I just install 'em and I'm done, no muss no fuss. The ATI cards and drivers can't be complete shit or they'd be outta business already. I'm just saying they're like Chevrolets for me; sure they run but I just hate all the little problems I have with every one I've owned.
