Hey there

Well I was wondering, what is the better card? A HD2600XT 512MB or a HD3850 256MB? I plan on running Crysis (on the best settings possible), CoD4, Quake Wars, UT3, BF2 & 2142, Stalker and Warhammer Online, Age of Conan, Far Cry 2 etc. My system is being upgraded to an Athlon 64 X2 3800+ (2.0GHz, 1MB Cache), 2GB DDR Ram and either the HD2600XT or the HD3850 for major gaming. Just wanting some opinions tbh.

These are the two cards:

HD2600XT Black Box Edition:

Thanks for your help and time.
