Could anyone tell me any experience with this particular card 1GB ATI Radeon 3870 X2
or even better with this Dell configuration XPSTM 630 . Optional card is 1GB NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GX2

Any comments would be appreciated, as I am about to buy.

While not being an expert, experience would suggest Nvidea.
It works.

Thanks for reply. My gutts are telling me the same, but would really like to hear from the people who have any of these cards.

I'd go nVidea all the way. I've troubles with ATI as have others. But some people's ATI's work great for them....

AT the end of last year I had the ATi Radeon HD2600 512MB in my machine for about two weeks. It was really slow with SU, even more so than the ATi Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB I had in my old machine. So I got rid of it really quickly (donated it to someone that could use / appreciate it) and got me something better, which was the ATi Radeon X1950GT 512MB, much more powerful than the HD2600. After the X1950 I got the nVidia 8800 GTX 768MB and now have a nVidia FX3500 256MB in my machine.
