ATI x850 vs. Nvidia 6800 Ultra
ok, just ordered my new PM 2.7 with the Nvidia 6800 Ultra but now I'm wondering if I should have gone with the ATI X850.
Any thoughts? Cooling, speed etc? I'm not a gamer, mostly heavy photoshop use.
Thanks,
Daz

depends what you want to do with it. the x850 only supports one 30inch Cinema display, and STILL only has one dvi out (the other is an ADC for older apple monitors)
