For an LG 19" 1440 x 900:
Sapphire Radeon HD5770 1GB DDR5 VAPOR-X OC Edition Lite
or
Inno3D GTS450 1GB DDR5
Radeon's core is OC'd from 850 to 860. Vapor-X supposedly keeps it extremely cool. Consumes less power than the GTS450. Costs 22$ more than the GTS450 (best deal possible where i live).
GTS has PhysX and CUDA (i'm mildly interested in CUDA, but am not sure if it's actually better than AMD's FireStream).
I'm not interested in folding. Mostly interested in gaming, but video editing/transcoding is also crucial.
I've read that Nvidia cards tend to scale better, and from what i know, they also provide better driver updates. I am personally more inclined to get an Nvidia card, unless the 5770 offers a clear performance boost when it comes to high gaming settings with decent AA.
Cruised this site, and the web, and the results were inconclusive. I'm still pretty much conflicted. Which should i get??
