Just wondering what you think the best card is for around $600-$1000 maybe a little more if I have to I am wanting Nvidia with Cuda and Physx support though

To tell you the truth i been using both brands Nvidia was my first buy's back in the day 5200fx 128mb 5200fx 256 mb and the 7300gt 512mb oc'ed by me

now i use the current hd5770 I have always thought of Nvidia as a Top dog cards but here and there i see amd matching performance with certain chipsets

firepro open gl vs cuda physx Even though i jumped on the amd bandwagon not only for price but also for the set up runs alot cooler and has excellent speed for the money

I would chose nvida though cause i know they make very powerfull cards for that i wouldnt know anything about those kind of cards from amd unless someone post a few articles betwen the two

yeah but 3Ds Max and After Effects can use GPU rendering and Only Nvidia supports it

GeForce GTX 480 hands down.

It's the fastest single GPU solution out there right now.
