    cuz the oc is oced by company that don't void warranty? so it makes a difference performance near 8800gt? :S

    lol agree with ecko here, the 8800gt is the better choice. besides u can overclock it as well so makes it even better.

    I don't think I want overclock anything.. and GTX is way too expensive for me. It is coming out of my pocket, not my parents.

    How come i don't believe that...

    8800gt and if you can find a deal its worth the extra money you drop on it.

    if not your ATI RD3870 is probably the best bang from your buck at the 130 price bracket http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/graphics-card,1923-3.html

    what you also want to factor is if you are going to use 2 video cards or not. If you use ATI you are going to need the ATi/AMD chipset to get crossfire going and the Nvidia Chipset to get SLI going

    ati hd3870 and Nvidia 8800 GT OC

    both offer about the same performance +/- 5 % depending on the type of application... so go for the cheaper one.

    the 8800GT beats the HD3870 1GB in Call of Duty 4, Enemy Territory: Quake Wars, Half-Life 2: Episode Two, Unreal Tournament 3 and Crysis in low and high res :p

    i dont mind if you prefer the HD3870,, but it doesn't own the 8800GT so dont give ppl false statement. If you google HD3870 VS 8800GT you will find out alot of comparison(i think you done that already)

    in benchmark, low res, low setting 8800 gt wins, in high res, high settings HD3870 outperforms it.. especially in crysis and other new games.
