ATI Radeon X1950XTX or nvidia GeForce 8800GTX.

If you were to compare those two, I'd say the X1950XTX, just because of Nvidia's driver situation. Vista is out, and they're still in beta. Keep in mind, they've had RC1,2 and the final version of Vista on the 30th to get these down, but still in beta.

Most of the PC issues posted here are the result of PEBKAC.

ROFL the 8800 GTX makes the X1950XTX look like pen and paper.

Any GeForce 7 Series card should work. They're affordable, and they should get much cheaper when the rest of the GeForce 8 series comes out.

pen and paper is more detail than tons of little pixels.

I recommend waiting for the R600, I heard that thing was a major benchmarking beast.

If ATI/AMD get their act together and make a good DX10 card, get it because they have stable drivers. If not go for the BFG 8800 GTX

Get Marathon Here
Get Marathon 2 and Infinity Here

Seeing as H2V is a ways off, get the nVidia GeForce 8800 GTX, stable Vista drivers should be out in time.

And that R600 is a myth, I have scoured the internets for benchmarks and the only ones I can find are with hacked beta drivers.
