Hello guys i have two graphics card option ATI Randeon 5770 and Nvidia GTS 250. Please tell me which will be better from these two.
My System specs are
Core 2 quad 2.66 GHz
4 GB RAM
660 gb hardisk
gigabyte g41 chipset board
and 600w psu

I recently purchased the GTS 250 and it seems to be working just fine.  I pretty much just animate, though.  I don’t do much rendering or any of that fancy stuff.

i also have to do rendering and lots of stuff as i am a learner (doing an animation course)

these two cards exactly fits in my budget i am having for Graphics cards. You are recommending nvidia card but it s having lower clock speed and not even direct11 and old shader model as compared ati radeon 5 series. So can it perform better in. This is what i think what do u say

as u say go for a faster card so i have budget for nvidia gts 250 1gb and ati radeon 5770 1gb
so going through all review and specs analysis between two cards i found ati 5770 to be faster in clock speed , in memory and lots of more things except one i.e texture filter rate. So pls tell i should go for nvidia gts 250 or ati radeon 5770.
