Need help to ID 2 GPUs...

Nope... I'm not getting the ATi card... because right beside it is a very shiny Zotac GTX 570 and a GTX 580 (whose maker I couldn't identify as I was more interesed in the Zotac card)...

Keep in mind that the 5870 was the top card for a long time. only losing out to the 580 afterwards. the 570 also only has 1.2 GB of GDDR5 so yeah. choose carefully.

For 720p gaming, I think 1.2GB is enough... hopefully...

Barely. It's barely enough :/

Nowadays you want 2 gigs. the 260x also has 2 gigs.
