This card will actually womp that card. Are you wanting to wait a bit for the next gen video cards? They should be out in a couple months. But this card is just the beggining.

that is just way out of my price range. the card i want is only 260. and the card i have now (6600gt) runs bf2 at medium with no problems. every other game at high.

I have never used an Nvidia based card. So I wouldnt be much help there.

I know this card will run most games like doom and Fear on high settings, due to its the only card with all 16 pipeslines open and costs less.

I always recomennd ATI as I have never Used Nvidia cards. I have never had a problem with them. And they last perty long. As for differences its just like AMP and Intel, just a fight. But that card has all 16 pipelines open The other has 2 of them closed.
