The $210 Video Card Showdown
 
It's big business, the $210 video card market; it's where most companies see a lot of sales. While in the past it used to be the company that held the performance crown for fastest video card who would dominate this market, it seems that while NVIDIA may be struggling with its higher end models their mid range cards are the ones to be buying.

Today we're looking at two cards: Sapphires HD 5830 1GB and MSIs GTX 460 768MB Cyclone. Both are $210 at Newegg at the moment but the question remains: which one deserves your money?

$210 for 768Mb 460 is too much
since price of 1Gb version is <$220...

Both cards today are $199. I used to be an Nvidia fanboy but they lost me to poor image quality in both 3D and 2D applications. Good luck Nvidia.

I knew this problem was a thing of the past. Is it still there?

Anisotropic Filtering of ATI cards was a step ahead of NVIDIA before, but the latest cards from both camps deliver pretty much equal IQ

This is what I thought exactly.

I believe that both MFG's are now on par with image quality. IMO that article just seemed slanted toward Nvidia giving them to much credit.
