Please answer I am about to buy one of them. I also dont want the choice to be made solely on which can run halo "better" I also want longetivity with the card, I wanna play half- life 2 and doom 3 smooth on high settings. Thanks.

check out [url=www.tomshardware.com] Tom's hardware guide [/url], good place to find stuff like this. AND it does make benchmarks for other games other than Halo. Search around to find the reviews.

Wait a minute - how much are you planning to spend? If you can reach the area of ~$150 you should get the GeForce FX 6600. Way more powerful than both of those, but the 9800 comes damn close.

I think Half-Life 2 is greater than Doom III (although you can't tell since HL2 isn't out yet). I say go with ATI.

Whoever says ATI card isn't good for Doom 3 is obviously a dumbass. The game works fine with ATI cards.

The fx series is a midrange series, when they released(which was near the 9800 release), thus making it a worse card then the ATI, and it performes not as good as it should.The 9800(especially the PRO version) is the best budget/performance card of this day, and as for Toms hardware....dont trust them...

Hail To ATI
