Stick with nVidia, that's what FPSC was made for, I believe.

Indeed it is, my ATI card has a sence of rendering all the polygons the wrong way then I play most games from FPSC, like if you put the game's visual stuff in a blender.

It only supports shader model 2.1 and below, that's why...

Don't even consider going with ATI

They totally undermined their customers making the decision to knowlingly not support shader model 3 for directx9.

Their drivers are poor and have terrible compatibility issues. Nvidia is the only option if you want quality and reliability.

I thought ATI were supposed to be competitive and got a 2900XT a while back but it was nothing but trouble. When I realised bond1's cinematic shader wouldn't compile because no shader model 3 I nearlly snapped it in half.

I'm using a Geforce 9800XT now and believe me, Nvidia are miles ahead of ATI.

Wrong, 3650 sucks. Get something better like a 4870.

Also wrong. I have a 4870, and it can run Crysis at Very High.

I've had absolutely no problems with my 4870, nor my 3400. ATi is good, you people are just buying the worst cards they have to offer.

It's hard to tell if this is powerful as you haven't stated the brand, which makes stating the '4400+' useless.

(Although a quick Google tells me it's an AMD Athlon )

Canada? The Price Is Higher For Yall but this is the best I can find:

http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3763161&CatId=1826

Not Sure If It Will Do Well But It's the Best I can Find For Canada under $150. The Us Version Of The Website Is About $20 or $10 Cheaper but IDK. Hope This Helps....

The Reviews State It Can Play Crysis At High Very Good...Dependin On The rest Of Your System.......
