my MSI card died and im throughly disappointed with it, it only lasted 3 months and it just died on me... while waiting for RMA though im gona get a new card and well use it in the meantime. ive got like 70$ to spend
its 3 cards against each other, im not going for nvidia coz im red.
a Palit 4670 512MB DDR3 128bit Php 4200 (PHP 4050 from Force3D)
a Palit 4650 1GB DDR2 128bit Php 3650
a Gecube 3850 512MB DDR3 256bit Php4200
Factors are
1 Gaming at 1650x1080 resolution
2 Power can be handled with a 500W generic PSU
3 lifespan must be able to game on and off since the computer will be on almost 24/7, so heat and cooling is a issue
4 Overclock ability since id like to max out the card without breaking it.
Before anything also ive heard so much great things about the 4650 check out this review

ive had experience with the 4670 and i game on max detail with plenty of AA and AF and max resolution.
i think the 4650 can be overclocked to the 4670 speeds and the 3850 i heard is lower than the 4670
but i cant decide, il buy in a few hours and yeah your opinion would help.
Anther questions of DDR2 Vs DDR3, alot of difference or not?
