[QUOTE="lclev, post: 1751593, member: 307555"] I agree about the Nvidia vs. ATI/AMD debate. I use to use ATI/AMD cards exclusively because of their built in video capture ability on their all-in-wonder cards. But updating drivers was always a pain and compatibility issues were a problem - back when I was a PC only person. It really does depend on what you plan to use it for. If you have some particular software/app you need it to run well, check out the preferred cards for that app and then go shopping. If is isn't an issue then the R9 280X cards are reasonably priced. You can easily pick up a genuine Mac GT 120 on eBay (average price $60 - $70), install it alongside the PC card you purchase. This will get you a card that will give you the boot screen if you need it and another card that can do the heavy lifting. So what are the specs of the 2009 you bought? Just wondering. I enjoy messing with the cMP as it offers so many customizing opportunities. ;D Lisa [/QUOTE]
