The 9600GT, but 200$ will get you a 4850...

Exactly.  Cant you find any cheaper 4850s?  Tbh, I have no understanding of people who want to stick to a particular brand, if something is cheaper and better, if you want to go else where you deserve to be ripped off.

Exactly. I was an nVidia-guy before. Then, I got a 3870 for cheap, then I killed my 6600, which got replaced by a Radeon 9600, and I've got a Radeon 9200 in the lappy, so I'm an all ATI guy now.
The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

What about if you bought into SLI?  I have an SLI mobo, and it would make more sense to buy two Nvidia cards rather than ATI cards, because I can't run Crossfire on a 680i.  I'd jump ship to ATI because their shit is better anyways, but it doesn't really make sense at this point in the game.  I don't want to get ripped off, whatever brand I buy.

Perhaps, although there would be nothing stopping you running a single ATi card.  Two 9600s I believe was not the original question, it was which of the following would be best for me.  In that case it remains the 4850.  Perhaps you can wait till next week?  9800GTX+ comes out and is expected at around the $229 mark.  You could eventually SLI them.

Probably because it auto overclocks when it goes in SLI.
