well then buy an Nvidia card if thats the case but u wont find any decent value in terms of Nvidia till fermi is out and its up in the air on when there DX11 gpu will finally hit the market

so if thats the primary game u play grab the Nvidia gtx 275 just know in almost every other retail game its gonna be 15% slower if not more so at the same price but if the ATI cards dont work for your main game theres not much you can do about that thats just shoddy developer laziness

yea sounds like the developer is ridiculously lazy if they only support 1 gpu camp and half ass even that good luck man and hopefully that GTX 275 serves you well

The GTX275 in that link is ridiculously overpriced. A friend of mine plays Darkfall and I'm quite sure he uses an ATi gpu.

if your going to buy a 200 gtx series card save some money and buy a 260 gtx 216 and overclock it they are neck in neck with a 275 gtx and the extra ram you have picked out on that card is useless. If you gonna spend 300+ then get a 1 gb 285 gtx if you have to go geforce.
