    What's the difference between EVGA GTX 260 and ATI Radeon HD 4650 1gb pci-express x16?

    Was wondering which I should pick.

    EDIT: I'm thinking of getting 2 4650s and running them in crossfire (1GB per card), my motherboard is an Asus P6T Intel X58 Chipset.

    I would definately go with the GTX 260. That card is more compareable to a 4850 or 4870

    Dual card solutions should be avoided like the plague. They only raise heat, noise, and power requirements for the *possibility* (not all games can take advantage of more than one card) of about 1.6x the performance of one card. Just get the GTX 260.
