Default Best Make Graphics Card?

I'd go for a Geforce 8600. This one maybe.

Default Best Make Graphics Card?

Why all the discussion?

By spec's alone the best card currently on the market is the 8800 Ultra.

But if you want to take cost into it (which I would) then you're talking a looooong thread.

Then if you ask for the best graphic's card for a prescribed resolution, the thread will then become longer.

Ask another question; regarding 3rd party manufacturers (XFX, BFG etc) who tend to overclock reference cards from Nvidia and AMD and this thread won't stop.

Well no, but as cost:spec ratio, i'd go with the 8600 as i can't afford the 8800
